Thank you to every patriotic, brave soldier in our military past, present and future that gave so much to make our country free and strong. 

We owe everything to you even though our military-industrial-political-media complex often uses you as pawns to enrich and empower themselves.

You are all human beings with families that love you and that should always be an important consideration by our decision making gatekeepers That put you in harms way.

This is often unavoidable and part of the job but don’t  use  our military for personal political gain  or send them on missions that compromise ethical standards or that can’t  be won by substandard military leadership.

We owe that to them and to our country and to the world!

I was going to use a message from the White House to help celebrate this wonderful holiday but President Trump used the entire thing to just brag about himself  


There's plenty of other stuff that focuses on our great veterans.

Veterans Day

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veterans_Day

Veterans Day (originally known as Armistice Day) is a federal holiday in the United States observed annually on November 11, for honoring military veterans of the United States Armed Forces.[b][1][2] It coincides with holidays in several countries, including Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, which also occur on the anniversary of the end of World War I.[3] Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. At the urging of major U.S. veteran organizations,[c] Armistice Day was renamed Veterans Day in 1954.

U.S. World War I veteran Joseph Ambrose (1896–1988) attends the dedication parade for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in 1982, wearing his original Brodie helmet and doughboy uniform and holding the flag that covered the casket of his son, Clement, who was killed in the Korean War.

Please use the appreciation thoughts and the compassion we have for our soldiers and their families and apply it to the brave Ukrainian soldiers that are being forced to go out on NATO suicide missions. They are NOT defending Ukraine, they are killing Russians to serve NATO and NATO's puppet man, Zelensky.

Whether they won World War 1 and 2  or whether they were sent to Korea, Vietnam or Iraq.

The sacrifices were the same. We should honor them all equally regardless of the theater of combat. 

Whether they died for their country or whether they got lucky and survived.
