Let
me start out by giving thanks to all our fallen heroes and those
serving today. Also to the families who lost loved ones and those
separated from their very own heroes.
Now, politics as usual.
While Nancy Pelosi made some admirable remarks, she just couldn't leave
out politics on this special day. She had to be derogatory in her comments regarding the Republican's block of the Senate's veterans bill. Both parties knew it was heading for a veto.
The ten billion dollar domestic spending
add-on to the veterans bill made the bill outside the parameters of the
President's budget. Add-ons are a practice used by both parties, I
know. This one stands out because we are at war and I think we should
put all that BS aside and show some appreciation for those fighting in
distant lands.
So the battle in Washington rages on even on the one day set aside for honoring some truly selfless people.
God bless all who serve.
