Thank a Veteran Today and Take Control of our Country Again

.

Veterans Day

World War I – known at the time as “The Great War” - officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles outside the town of Versailles, France. However, fighting had ceased seven months earlier when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of the Great War.   

In November 1919, President Wilson proclaimed November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day with the following words: "To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…"


Veterans Day continues to be observed on November 11. Every day, but especially on this day, we should be thankful to those who fought for our country.  Today is a celebration to honor America's veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.

Our culture has changed dramatically over the last 100 years, but especially so in the last year.  Our federal, state, and local politicians and those who have net been elected to office, are ruining the country our military fought to establish and to perpetuate.  This is shameful.  

Our schools have not taught real history, and the Internet has become a cesspool of misinformation and removal of truth.  

So, if you value what freedom we have left, thank a vet, then relentlessly write, phone, and email those in office to let them know that we are not going to stand for any more of this destruction.  After that, vote for the most conservative people on the ballot to reverse this mess we are in.
