Remembrance and Veterans Day

**For-Life** · 11-11-2007, 11:57 AM

Let us remember that on the 89th Anniversary of the end of the Great War, those who gave their lives and commitment for everything we have today. I am sure we have all had family members who served in WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and other military conflict.

To Quote Tony Blair: " Only two people have been willing to die for your,
Jesus Christ and the American G.I."

Any of you anti-military peasenicks willing to die for what you believe in?

If not Kiss a GI he's the one to who protects your right to be a peasenick.

For-Life Only the words in quotations are Tony Blair's the rest are mine

Who around here is anti-military?

okay, that makes a lot of sense. I could not understand why he would take a shot at his own military.

Thanks to all those who served and/or are serving and their families for being there while they did it. God Bless you (and Semper Fi).

I think he labors under the impression that to be a peacenik means anti-military and anti-war also equals anti-military.

I'm sort of a peacenik and anti-war but not anti-military. I realize we need a strong military to protect us. But who's the military head makes all the difference. And what wars we get into and why.It's not the average GI's decision where and when we go to war, it's supposedly Congress, not the President. Funny how Bush tells Mussaref he can't be President AND Military Commander at the same time when Bush is also that very thing!
I have nothing against our military. Well, except for a certain Lt. Calley, but he's no longer a threat.
