A remembrance of a worldly peace arrived at 100 years ago. The war to end all wars but of course it was not so.as 21 years later the same nations embarked on an even worse war. To find true peace one must look to our Heavenly Father.

He couldn’t contain his ego at the Unknown Soldier. You can see a couple times he was almost smiling and then at the end he was like a kid at his birthday party. It was all about him and not the sacrifice of the dead. Don’t know if it was because he got in that slap against Trump or if all eyes around the world were on him and him alone or both.

Macron is just the latest in a long line of idiotic leftists to be elected president of France. Without a doubt he’s the stupidest. It’s pretty easy to find out the definition of “Nationalism.” It’s love of your country and putting your country first. It is the epitome of patriotism. Macron, like most dimwitted leftists, could care less about his country. His goal is to enrich himself while in office, by stealing and looting from the people. It’s the goal of all leftists. Nazis were socialists. Leftist socialists. Just like today’s democrat party and just like Macron.

I was wondering also if they’d had a meeting. Putin gave Trump a thumbs up when he came over to shake his hand upon arrival. Interesting.

Drudge already has it front and center. His goofy little siren must be in the shop.

Utterly Satanic paganism. The “show/celebration” was demonic.

My grandfather as well.

He was awarded, among others, two Silver Stars, three Purple Hearts and also the same medal as your grandfather from France.

Unfortunately, all of his records were destroyed in the Kansas military records fire. Although I have his Flag, Medals and ribbons. I have a picture of him in his uniform though.

Sadly he died in an auto accident a few years after returning from the war.

LOL! I had my phone set to wake me up so I could get down to the commemoration at 6:00 am here at Memorial Park in JAX, Florida, where the bagpiper came out and played very solemnly for us. It was great. But I wouldn’t have seen the European celebration without you, so many thanks!

For decades I've regularly seen the televised wreath-laying ceremony at 11 AM on November 11th held at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington Cemetery.

Today, Fox again covered the ceremony including band music, Anthem, salutes, wreath-laying, Taps and all other ceremonial rites. Very solemn and moving.

Then Fox continued showing portions of the solemn ceremonies from various states across the fruited plain at the top of each subsequent time zone hour.

Thank you, Fox News !

During the 11 AM Eastern Time ceremony, I switched over on a hunch...guess what? I found that the ceremony was being aired only on C-Span and Fox (as far as I could tell).

The two commie cables, CNN and PMSNBC showed NOT A MINUTE of the sacred ceremonies from anywhere in the USA. Instead, I saw them airing nasty bash-Trump panel shows.

To me, this just shows what these amoral, un-American networks think of our country, our dead heroes, our living veterans and our glorious battles on behalf of freedom. These honor ceremonies were deliberately censored out of any showing whatsoever by these two cables.

What horrible, sick people control and infest these networks. May they rot in whatever hell they believe-or-don't believe in.

God Bless America !
