Formerly known as Armistice Day, Veterans Day, the 11th day of November, marks the anniversary of the end of Word War I, the War to End All Wars. Not. It has been 100 years since the end of that European catastrophe that decimated the populations of the UK, of France, of Belgium, of Italy, of Russya, and of Austria, and Turkey, and the Middle East. It is now acknowledged as the lead up to World War II. So, we mourn its millions of victims, both military and civilian. The ghastly scenes are viewed in shock and awe as primitive versions of now familiar weaponry looked somehow like toys made by mad men. Well, they were made by mad men.
In Europe, in the European Union, commemorative events mark the day. Orange Head from the White House made it to France for one ceremony but didn't attend due to the weather. Sad that this fool represents the entire United States. Perhaps in 2020 sanity will return to a more thoughtful nation and a responsible party will be elected. It could happen, but..........
HAPPY VETERANS DAY or better yet: pray for all veterans.
