American Minute for November 11th:
The 11th hour of the 11TH DAY OF THE 11TH MONTH of 1918, World War I ended. Though the Armistice was signed at 5:00 AM, fighting continued till 11:00 AM, killing nearly 11,000 more men. In 1921, President Warren Harding had the remains of an unknown soldier killed in France buried in the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington Cemetery. Inscribed on the Tomb are the words: “Here lies in honored glory an American soldier know but to God.”

Armistice Day was changed to Veterans Day in 1954 to honor all U.S. Veterans. In 1958, President Eisenhower placed soldiers in the tomb from WWII and the Korean War. The soldier from Vietnam, buried by President Reagan in 1984, was identified by DNA tests as pilot Michael Blassie and was reburied in 1998 at Jefferson Memorial Cemetery, St. Louis, Missouri. On NOVEMBER 11, 1921, President Harding stated: “On the threshold of eternity, many a soldier, I can well believe, wondered how his ebbing blood would color the stream of human life, flowing on after his sacrifice…I can sense the prayers of our people…Let me join in that prayer. Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come…”

Veterans, you are our heroes. Thank you for your service.
We will not forget your sacrifice to keep us free!

Leftists Want US To Forget

The leftists in the media and academia want us to forget the destruction and horrors that communism has brought to our world. They also want to deny the heroic role of some leaders in bringing down not only the Berlin Wall but communism as well.
Great leaders such as: UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Pope John Paul II, and President Ronald Reagan.

President Ronald Reagan: “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall”

Reagan also said:
“The totalitarian world produces backwardness
because it does such violence to the spirit,
thwarting the human impulse to create, to enjoy, to worship.
The totalitarian world finds even symbols of love and of worship an affront.”

Will we forget and fall for the fake benevolence of communism…..or
will we fight to preserve freedom?
