Tomorrow is a very special day for our nation. During the WO today, we will be thinking about tomorrow and what it means. Three pax present today are Veterans.
Armistice Day and marked the end of hostilities of World War I that occurred at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month. In 1954, Armistice Day became Veterans Day to honor all those in the military who have served, are serving and who have sacrificed for our freedoms. The day is always recognized on November 11th, regardless of the day of the week on which it falls.

YHC evidently didn’t use Fact Checker regarding the organization dates of the branches of the Services. Given his extensive military background, POTUS pointed out the flaws in the data. But since the WO was tied into the dates YHC had, he went with those. Kottiers for the errant data but not the sections of the WO to honor them. Per POTUS, the Marines were formed before the Navy as was the Air Force before the Coast Guard.

While on watch 4 nights ago, Prince (Overnight’s 2.0 who is deployed and serving our Country) encountered a suicide bomber in a vehicle being driven by an insurgent. The vehicle entered a restricted area and self-detonated at the last moment before our military would have intervened to neutralize the threat. Fortunately no U.S. Service Members were injured. Pray for the safety of our troops.
Unspoken requests STS were on hand.
