Veterans' Day - November 11, 2008

Veterans’ Day – November 11, 2008
This was the ninetieth anniversary of the armistice that resulted in the end of the Great War. Not much has changed in 90 years; young men still die in foreign lands.



The most important thing to remember about Veterans’ Day is that freedom is never free. It never has been free and it never will be free. Freedom is paid for with the sacrifices of young men and women.

Beware of smooth talking politicians and sycophants and other so-called experts who advocate the use of force to solve a political problem that they created. They are fools. They should be the ones in the first rank when the young men and women are marched off to war. They should lead the charge against the enemy’s fortifications; the world will be much better off without them.

I do regret being late with my Veteran’s day blog posting.

If you enjoyed your freedom, be sure to thank a Veteran; he or she was the one who made it possible for you to enjoy yo0ur freedom.


Be well and stay happy.
