11-11-11

Today is 11-11-11. It is also Veterans' Day as well as my parents' wedding anniversary. Veterans' Day is when we stop to remember all the men and women who are fighting or have fought for our country (including those that are currently in Iraq and Afghanistan.) It seems Obama did little to mark the holiday - which is a disgrace since he is the head of the military and the one who sends soldiers to fight and die. He laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (which is for Memorial Day as Veterans' Day remembers those that fought and are alive today) He watched a basketball game and made a speech in which he said that all troops are coming home. That is not true since the soldiers in Afghanistan are staying there until at least 2014 and the ones leaving Iraq will probably go to Afghanistan, Kuwait or some other place in the world rather than home. Regardless of how Obama lies the truth is the American military is the strongest and most dedicated in the world and has been throughout its history and we need to remember everything the soldiers did/do for us.
