Today we remember all who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces; they deserve our respect, honor and gratitude.
Sadly today’s military is not your Dad’s (or Mom’s) military. Rather than the proficient, disciplined, skilled and adept vets of yesteryear the overlords want current recruits to be woke and poked. They will turn our proud military into a joke unless steps are taken to reverse this foolishness. Don’t look to our current Commander in Chief to spearhead that effort.
He seems to travel to the tune of a different piper altogether.
Fortunately previous generations of men and women were able to carry on in the face of adversity without requiring trigger warnings, safe spaces and grief counseling. We are equally fortunate that there are still some who - despite our overlords best efforts – still do.
While the face of freedom’s enemy may morph over time, it never goes away. Which is why we’ll always need people on the wall, willing to do whatever is necessary to keep the malignancy at bay; people who don’t need safe spaces and for whom “trigger warning” means something altogether different than hurt feelings. It is why today we honor all those who have responded to the call to serve. Please accept my heartfelt gratitude for helping preserve the last best hope of the world.
"You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done."

Thank you to all my brothers and sisters who have served.
Blessings upon you and your loved ones.
Today there will be five of us.
At our age we still have one Korean Vet left but most of use are Viet Nam year aged {early 80s}, but lost two to cancer last year.
My son was a 25 year Navy Captain so our tradition will last for one more generation, but after that none of my grand kids have shown any interest in the military.
With today's military leadership I don't blame them.
My dad passed in 2015. He would be 95 years old now had he lived.
He served in the US Marines in World War 2 in the south Pacific.
(Guadalcanal, etc...)
I sure he can read this.
(They have the internet in Heaven, right?)
All I ever did militarily was the Junior Naval ROTC in high school.
It was a blast! (Except getting stuck in a tear gas
room - "To see what it is like.") Not a fan of tear gas.
Proud daughter of father and mother who served during World War II.
They taught my sister, brother, and me to love GOD, family, and country.
