Today

on Veterans’

Day,

we honor

those

who chose

to serve

to preserve

an ideal

and a

real

way of life.

Let’s honor

those

whose

honor

rose

to duty

to country

and freedom.

Democracy

could be

easily

lost;

not even

militarily.

We should

wage war

warily,

and carefully

plan

strategy,

with approval

from congress

before

any dangerous

service

is asked

of those

made of honor.

We approached

a precipice

politically,

and thankfully,

we’re changing

course.

Each man

and woman,

present

and future

veteran

of all ranks

deserve

our thanks.

Those

made of honor

more than

glory

(see Hegseth

for such

a distorted

story)

know that

combat

should be

for democracy,

not merely

to kill

an enemy.

We honor

those

who fought

for freedom

from

insecurity,

not some

sort of

purity,

or money-

driven

big commission

politician

know-nothing

who would

do anything

while

mocking

honor.

Shocking

horror

will

reoccur

as those

most

desperate

will surely

test it.

We are

grateful

to those

whose

service

has preserved

us.

You are

made

of honor.

Thank you

for your

service.
