Today we celebrate Veterans Day, a holiday that honors all American veterans, living or dead, who served their country honorably during war or peacetime. On the “11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month” in 1918, the Allied nations and Germany agreed to an armistice, ending World War I, which is generally regarded as “the war to end all wars.” It became known as “Armistice Day,” and is commemorated by many countries. One year later, in Nov. 1919, President Woodrow Wilson declared Nov. 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day. On June 4, 1926, Congress passed a resolution

I come from a military family so Veteran's Day ALWAYS means something special to me. My sincere and heartfelt thanks to all who have served this country.

Leadership may change across a wide spectrum from the great to the incompetent, from General George Patton to General Mark Milly but the American fighting man will always get the job done. Salute to all my brothers and sisters in uniform.

In World War II, my dad was in the Army's 84th Infantry, 335th Regiment, Company K. The Railsplitters. He rarely spoke of his military service in Europe. But, I do know he saw the worst of the worst on the perimeter of the Bulge. The few times he spoke of the war, he always acknowledged our military's leadership and the troops from all branches of service and their drive to win at any cost as the only reason we all aren't speaking German today. My God continue to rest his soul. I gratefully thank all men and women in uniform today for their service. It's still dark here, but, at sunup, the flag will be placed out front.

In WWII my dad served in the Pacific (Upper Solomons an Luzon) He returned home as a corporal and had two bronze stars. He later had a drinking problem which broke up our family. My lovely wife’s dad went to Europe and was captured by the Germans at the battle of the bulge. He spent the remainder of the war in a POW camp referred to as Bad Orb. He also had a drinking problem but, was able raise six kids and kept his family together. I think of both of them often. I so much appreciate the sacrifice made by veterans and active military in all branches of the military as they put there lives in danger no matter what position they serve. God Bless our military and keep them safe.

My father was 82nd Airborne, I was 24th I.D. The finest people I've ever known have been veterans. I have a son and daughter in high school. West Point just mailed my girl a flyer inviting her to consider going there and touting the benefits (yeah, she rocks). She was impressed, especially that "free" part. But I find myself discouraging them from going into the military. Imagine taking an oath to protect and defend something greater than yourself, only to be bait-and-switched into serving Socialists as a pawn in support of his anti-American agenda. I fear Ayn Rand was right and the best we can do is... nothing.

Saying thanks is just not enough to those who served us and our country by putting on any kind of a military uniform. You all had the guts to go & do --- and not cut & run. That says something. “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.” John 15: 13(NKJ) Many sins will be forgiven you who served the greatest country ever ---- in any capacity! God bless you all.

I rise in honor of the 13th Armored Division who served in the Battle of the Bulge, in the E.T.O., and building pontoon bridges to replace the steel bridges the enemy was destroying. May God give eternal rest to the brave men who have gone from us; and may God grant peace and comfort to those who remain. God Bless America.

My inspiration to serve were from my two uncles in WWII (my mother's brothers) one served in the Pacific the other at Omaha beach with the Rangers. I was drafted at 19 in 1968 for service in Vietnam. My thanks to my comrades in the 4th Infantry division at Pleku. Times at home were more challenging than was the war. My wife is Navy from the same times we are both the same age. The only battles now are the Army vs Navy games once a year. I can't say thanks enough to all veterans who served from all generations. Fighting for a country you love, some people will never know what it means, along with the American flag flying in our yards on this veterans day. God Bless America.

With this country at a point of internal conflict from a variety of dire circumstances heretofore thought unlikely, this Veterans’ Day it seems appropriate to share a portion of a prayer from our church’s “My Prayer Book” that brings clarity and purpose to American people of faith. While we treasure our spiritual freedom through the grace of our Lord Jesus, let us remember: “... Teach me to be thankful for my liberties in this blessed land, which were won and preserved for me by the sacrifices of my countrymen. Help me to honor their memory by a conscientious and loyal citizenship and a readiness to defend the rights of free people everywhere. ... KEEP ME FROM FORGETTING THE HEROES OF THE PAST, LEST I BECOME A COWARD IN THE FACE OF THE FUTURE. ...” God bless America’s veterans! May Americans of faith treasure the Gospel and march beneath the banner of the Cross. May God have mercy on America.

DEL RIO, Texas — According to a source within Customs and Border Protection, migrants from Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India were arrested Wednesday. Border Patrol agents encountered them after crossing the Rio Grande as they tried to elude apprehension in dense brush. The incidents began early Wednesday when agents arrested a group of seven. Agents tracked footprints away from the Rio Grande, ultimately finding the migrants on a private ranch. Four identified themselves as citizens of Afghanistan, two from India, and one from Pakistan. As the day unfolded, five more significant interest migrants were apprehended, raising the number of migrants from significant interest countries to 12 in a single day—including four Syrians.

How does this affect the Republican Party?” Begala said, “Well, I think he’s going to run. And that’s not just me from the outside. Talk to people close to Trump. It’s close to 100% certainty that he’s going to run. That’s going to chill, I think, many other Republicans from getting in the race.

“The Chicago Police Department has canceled regularly scheduled days off starting Friday and through the weekend in apparent anticipation of civil unrest in the event that Kyle Rittenhouse is acquitted,” the Chicago Sun-Times reported. Allow me to translate that for you…. Because Chicago is run by Democrats, because the corporate media have been shamelessly lying about the truth of what’s been revealed in the Rittenhouse trial, Chicago police know that if Rittenhouse is acquitted (as he should be), the left-wing terrorists in Antifa and Black Lives Matter, these dangerous babies who can’t deal with things not going their way, are almost certain to take to the streets to loot and burn

The COVID pandemic is over. Thanks to the work of President Donald Trump, a vaccine is widely available to anyone who wants it. And, coming from that research, a new pill from Pfizer that cuts the risk of death and hospitalization by 90 percent in individuals who contract COVID, is in front of the Food and Drug Administration for approval. Those who want to protect themselves from COVID can do so easily, and those who chose not to take advantage of the vaccine or the pill (when it is approved) are in any event are unlikely to die from the sickness.

Is the Biden administration governing in a way that takes into consideration the will of the American people? Based on his plummeting poll numbers and crude anti-Biden chants filling sports stadiums, the answer would seem to be no. Last week’s defeat of the left at the polls in Virginia and elsewhere was a reminder of the pushback of “we the people.” Some leftist pundits said Terry McAuliffe lost his Virginia gubernatorial campaign in 2021 because he didn’t campaign to the left enough. Others remarked it was the alleged “white supremacist” factor that gave conservatives the victory.

From the moment Donald Trump announced his presidential aspirations in June 2015, he has dominated the political landscape. Trump's turn in the spotlight has persisted for so long that it seems impossible to get away from him. Both his critics and fans are many. Though Democrats control the White House and Congress, they are eager to remind others of the Trumpian loyalty still alive within the Republican Party. But when it comes to elections, there is no placing Trump on a ballot if he is not running. This truth played itself out on the Nov. 2 election night.

A Black Lives Matter leader vowed there’ll be “riots,” “fire” and “bloodshed” if Mayor-elect Eric Adams follows through with his promise to bring back plainclothes anti-crime cops to battle New York’s surge in violent crimes. New York BLM co-founder Hawk Newsome debated the plan for a return to tougher policing with Adams during a contentious sit-down at Brooklyn Borough Hall Wednesday that was livestreamed on Instagram. Although Adams found common ground with the activists on plans to fight poverty in the black community, the former NYPD captain said he’ll be reinstating a revamped version of the undercover anti-crime unit that was disbanded at the height of widespread police protests last year.

As Vermont reports higher than ever COVID-19 case rates, state health officials have been trying to understand why. How can a state that did so well during the first part of the pandemic — even garnering national recognition — be doing so much worse now? "There is not one simple answer," said Vermont Health Commissioner Dr. Mark Levine during a news conference Tuesday. "But, there are clearly factors that have come together to create the situation that we're in now." Slowing the spread is critical right now to prevent Vermont's hospitals from being overwhelmed with people sick with the virus, Levine said.
