They served the Empire. Pretending that those who serve the Empire and kill other people is a 'service to our contry' is a massive lie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-68289114437271345912018-11-14T07:25:10.964-08:002018-11-14T07:25:10.964-08:00I am grateful for the appreciative comments every ...I am grateful for the appreciative comments every year, from strangers and family alike. Perhaps it's my somber nature, but every Veteran's Day reminds me of a little poem...<br /><br />In times times of danger, not before,<br />Both God and soldier men adore.<br />When danger's gone and things are righted,<br />God's forgotten and the soldier slighted.<br /><br />Got any homeless vets in your community?<br /><br />Please give of your time or money to getting them back on their feet.<br /><br /><br />Steve Davis<br />Anchorage, Alaska<br />20 yrs USAF veteranSteve Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14373539126705785549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-91679151849234885602018-11-12T04:53:07.460-08:002018-11-12T04:53:07.460-08:00If United States Marine Corps major general Smedle...If United States Marine Corps major general Smedley Butler was here today, his Veteran’s Day message would be, BRING ALL OF THE TROOPS HOME IMMEDIATELY! In his words, “I believe in adequate defense at the coastline and nothing else.”<br /><br />Who was Smedley Butler? He was major general, the highest rank authorized at that time, and at the time of his death the most decorated Marine in U.S. history. He is author of ‘War is a Racket’.<br /><br />Montana Guy<br />bushliedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02093992594712182074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-76997448757922145942018-11-11T20:34:22.706-08:002018-11-11T20:34:22.706-08:00Check this out - Haunting and yet beautiful - The ...Check this out - Haunting and yet beautiful - The moment the guns fell silent: Eerie WW1 recording captures exact second the chaos of war stopped dead... to be replaced by beautiful birdsong https://videos.dailymail.co.uk/video/mol/2018/11/08/9061260928198200974/1024x576_MP4_9061260928198200974.mp4<br /><br />God Bless,<br />Janet in MAJanet in MAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10181016550075348540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-23332680699636330442018-11-11T15:27:24.079-08:002018-11-11T15:27:24.079-08:00Oh Patrice, what are we going to do with you? :-)...Oh Patrice, what are we going to do with you? :-)<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LF4VIpwGKj0/UKA48sO_7II/AAAAAAAAbZ4/gd-j02FN87c/s1600/veterans-2.jpg" rel="nofollow">This is a photo of a Russian military veteran dressed up with his medals so he can ride the Moscow subway for free!</a><br /><br />"не прислоняться" (ne prislonyat'sya) means "do not lean (against the doors)", and that's a <a href="http://mapofmoscow.net/subway/" rel="nofollow">Moscow subway map</a> behind him.<br /><br />It's OK though, we do this every year. :-)Post Alley Crackpotnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-45151452540172369752018-11-11T09:50:58.552-08:002018-11-11T09:50:58.552-08:00It says something sad about our society that the o...It says something sad about our society that the old man is standing while others are seated.Gorges Smythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777621500611603786noreply@blogger.com
