Our thanks to the veterans who have sacrificed so much to keep this country free and who remain our bulwark against tyranny, both the brazen foreign sort and the pernicious domestic variety. I just pray that 8 years of Barack Obama have not wholly corrupted military leadership, but it is a close call - Six men got a death sentence looking for Bergdahl, he might get a $300,000 reward for desertion .

Lord, please bless our veterans and our troops and keep them from harm from the multitude of enemies foreign and domestic who are forever plotting the demise of this great nation.

Veterans Day 2015

God please bless our veterans and our troops and keep them from harm from the multitude of enemies foreign and domestic who are forever plotting the demise of this great nation.

This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.

Veterans Day 2014

God please bless our veterans and our troops and keep them from harm from the enemies foreign and domestic who are forever plotting the demise of this great nation.

People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

First Obama Pillaged WWII Vets' Medicare, Now He Tries To Steal Their Monument

First Obama pillaged Medicare to fund his Obamacare train wreck, now he is trying to prevent aged WWII Vets from visiting the open air World War II Memorial in Washington so he can maximize the pain of the government shutdown he ordered.

I guess the Thug-in-Chief really didn't notice that it is an open air monument paid for with private funds:

The National World War II Memorial was funded almost entirely by private contributions, as specified in Public Law 103-32. The campaign received more than $197 million in cash and pledges. Support came from hundreds of thousands of individual Americans, hundreds of corporations and foundations, veterans groups, dozens of civic, fraternal and professional organizations, states and one territory, and students in 1,200 schools across the country.

Donated and pledged funds were used to cover the total project costs of approximately $182 million. These costs include site selection and design, construction and sculpture, a National Park Service maintenance fee required by the Commemorative Works Act, groundbreaking and dedication ceremonies, fund raising, and the 11-year administrative costs of the project from its inception in 1993 through completion in 2004.

Remaining funds are held on deposit with the U.S. Treasury in a National WWII Memorial Trust Fund. The funds will be used by the American Battle Monuments Commission solely to benefit the World War II Memorial.

Or maybe Obama spent all the money on one of his wife's vacations. In any case, Obama goons are now threatening Vets with arrest when they take their long anticipated Honor Flight trip to see it.

... when he called the parks service, he was told they would face arrest. "I said, are you kidding me? You're going to arrest a 90/91-year-old veteran from seeing his memorial? If it wasn't for them it wouldn't be there. She said, 'That's correct sir.'"

Smooth move, Pondscum.

Crybaby Obama Tries to Explain Why He Shut Down the Government while Vets Take the WWII Monument

Crybaby Obama took to the airwaves this afternoon to try to explain why he shut down the government. Here's a hint, he says it wasn't his fault after arriving more than an hour late for the press conference. Hmm, always the same old story.

Meanwhile, Obama has his minions out trying to maximize shutdown pain and one of their gambits was to shut down the various Washington DC monuments including the World War II Memorial. That didn't sit too well with some WWII vets who took it over with the help of some Republican Congressmen.

Next they should head for the Senate.

Veterans Day 2012

Our thanks to the veterans who have sacrificed so much to keep this country free and who remain our bulwark against tyranny, both the brazen foreign sort and the pernicious domestic variety.

Veterans Day 2011

Our thanks to the veterans who have sacrificed so much to keep this country free and who remain our bulwark against tyranny, both foreign and domestic.

Veterans Day 2010

Today our nation gives thanks once again to the veterans who have sacrificed so much to keep us free from foreign tyranny. Speaking of which, our Third World Marxist President Barack Obama is AWOL this Veterans Day since he is busy swanning about over in Asia at vast expense to the taxpayers, but he did find time in his busy schedule to celebrate Indonesian veterans on their Heroes Day and deliver such deep thoughts as:

"Today, we sometimes hear that democracy stands in the way of economic progress"

I wonder which one of his Marxist pals told Barry that one.

Now more than ever, salute our veterans

Veterans Day 2009: Our thanks to all those who have served and are currently serving. They are our bulwark against tyrants both foreign and domestic.

Thank the veterans for our freedom

God bless our veterans and bring confusion to our enemies, foreign and domestic.

God bless the vets

Your alarm goes off; you hit the snooze and sleep for another 10 minutes.
He stays up for days on end.

You take a warm shower to help you wake up.
He goes days or weeks without running water.

You complain of a "headache", and call in sick.
He gets shot at as others are hit, and keeps moving forward.

You put on your anti war/don't support the troops shirt, and go meet up with your friends.
He still fights for your right to wear that shirt.

You make sure you're cell phone is in your pocket.
He clutches the cross hanging on his chain next to his dog tags.

You talk trash about your "buddies" that aren't with you.
He knows he may not see some of his buddies again.

You walk down the beach, staring at all the pretty girls.
He walks the streets, searching for insurgents and terrorists.

You complain about how hot it is.
He wears his heavy gear, not daring to take off his helmet to wipe his brow.

You go out to lunch, and complain because the restaurant got your order wrong.
He doesn't get to eat today.

Your maid makes your bed and washes your clothes.
He wears the same things for weeks, but makes sure his weapons are clean.

You go to the mall and get your hair redone.
He doesn't have time to brush his teeth today.

You're angry because your class ran 5 minutes over.
He's told he will be held over an extra 2 months.

You call your girlfriend and set a date for tonight.
He waits for the mail to see if there is a letter from home.

You hug and kiss your girlfriend, like you do everyday.
He holds his letter close and smells his love's perfume.

You roll your eyes as a baby cries.
He gets a letter with pictures of his new child, and wonders if they'll ever meet.

You criticize your government, and say that war never solves anything.
He sees the innocent tortured and killed by their own people and remembers
why he is fighting.

You hear the jokes about the war, and make fun of men like him.
He hears the gunfire, bombs and screams of the wounded.

You see only what the media wants you to see.
He sees the broken bodies lying around him.

You are asked to go to the store by your parents. You don't.
He does exactly what he is told.

You stay at home and watch TV.
He takes whatever time he is given to call, write home, sleep, and eat.

You crawl into your soft bed, with down pillows, and get comfortable.
He crawls under a tank for shade and a 5 minute nap, only to be woken by
gunfire.

You sit there and judge him, saying the world is probably a worse place
because of men like him. If only there were more men like him!

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ
and the American G. I. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom!

Bless the veterans and may they always be our firm bulwark against the plots of our enemies, both foreign and domestic.
