President Biden needed stage directions from a military member during the solemn wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier during Veterans Day observances at Arlington National Cemetery Saturday.

He had this 57’ Chevy and that thing could move! Yeah, when I was 57 I met Jill and she was a hot little number! We got married and cruised the Panama Canal when it opened in 1915 before going to a Grateful Dead concert and they had Ethel Merman singing...that was something! Oh, well, they’re saying I gotta go now and go take a nap!”
Truly inspring wisdom for the Ages!
