November 11, the day to honor and revere the men and women who have served our country and still are serving. Many paid the ultimate price for the freedom that we as a country and society bask in and enjoy. We do this by having parades in their honor. Speeches by some of those that were severely wounded by enemy gunfire, IUDs, or some other life-ending activity due to war.
Today will be the first time a sitting president will speak at the glorious event. This I ask of myself, WHY? Many if not all have been invited in the past and each has declined. Here is a list of presidents that DID NOT SERVE:
The 12 Presidents who did not serve in the military
are: John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Martin Van Buren, Grover Cleveland,
William H. Taft, Woodrow Wilson, Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge,
Herbert C. Hoover, Franklin D. Roosevelt, William J. Clinton, Barack
H. Obama and Donald Trump.
The climate, atmosphere, of today, is counterproductive for our society to continue as the world's military force. That is a good thing IF...... we could get the political nincompoops to put down their rattlers and security blankets and grow up.
But the things that have been around since God created Earth, GREED AND POWER LUST, will simply not allow this to occur.
The youth of today have lost their perspective, that is assuming they ever had one, and for that reason, we will always have the need for November 11 to always be viable.
And Jesus said,
“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
And they cast lots to divide his garments.
