In a strange fit of galactic irony,
this year we had 2 Veterans' Days – one calendar one, which fell on
Sunday, necessitating the second one on Monday – so that government
employees were not deprived of one of their days off, and the good
people of the United States of America were not deprived of their
proper shopping experience.
Of course, if you cared to take a look
at the general situation in the country, Veterans had absolutely
nothing to celebrate: the re-election of Comrade Barack Hussein
Obama, or Barry Soetoro, or whatever the hell his real name is,
almost certainly guaranteed the complete gutting and demoralization
of our current military; continued senseless slaughter of our troops
in Afghanistan; and, last, but not least, the severe cuts in benefits
to all the vets.
So, all I could say in my head on those
two days was : I am sorry.
I am sorry for the election results.
I am sorry for the deplorable state of
the country you risk your life and limb to defend.
I am sorry for the unending assault on
you from the general media.
I am sorry I can't even send you care
packages for Thanksgiving because I am unemployed and broke.
But please know this: there are a lot
of us for whom your dedication to the United States and the
Constitution is beyond appreciated. You are in our thoughts and
prayers constantly – and that is never said as a tired cliché.
This grateful American, who survived
communist hell, salutes you!
