In a manner of speaking, we celebrate Veterans Day here at every week, for the stories we tell here are a celebration of America’s most exclusive fraternity of brothers and sisters known to mankind. We haven’t even begun to explore the great things veterans can do to save America.But today I want to make a few comments about that first Armistice Day, 1918.First, “The Star Spangled Banner” at sporting events:The same song Colin Kaepernick refuses to stand for was first played at a sporting event in Boston, in September, 1918, at the opening game of the World Series. It was to honor our troops in France.

It then became a standard opening song all over the country, for college, then high school sports as well.It was never proclaimed to be “The National Anthem” by Congress until 1931, which will give you some idea how far ahead of the government the people have always been in knowing what’s good for themselves especially in passing things onto our children.Secondly, America in World War I:America has not always chosen its wars wisely.My generation will go to its grave debating the wisdom of the government policy that got us into Vietnam in the first place. I still think containing Communism is a good policy, but that sending a bunch of Harvard professors in to plan it wasn’t, and that we should have fought to win it, which we easily could have done, but chose not to, cynically cheapening the loss of many thousands of America’s treasure, while emboldening to the dangerous position they and their progeny now hold in our government today.We largely agreed that the Jane Fonda wing of American society were traitors then, and still are today. In other words I’ll only debate the Vietnam War with people who love America, and not those who never did. Those of you who were in Afghanistan after 911, or Iraq after 2003, will have the same set of arguments facing you in the coming years, about why didn’t Bush do this, or why did Obama do that?

Unhyphenated American female, born and raised in the Empire State and who like most New Yorkers, in spite of being a registered Democrat, I voted for the candidate, not the party which meant voting often across party lines throughout the years.In 2008, coming to terms once and for all with the fact that Democrats and I had nothing in common, I left the liberal cesspool forever.
