Q: ( See attached pic.)
A: Never...as long as there are those who seek to maliciously harm others and there are those who are willing and able to stand for the principles upon which our nation strives to represent.
Remember what this day is about...

Richard - You are correct, as long as human nature is such, that there will be strong who will pray on the weak, then you will have the sheep dogs that protect those weak.
Due to this simple fact, conflict of this nature is inevitable.

Armistice Day. Eleventh Hour, of the Eleventh Day, of the Eleventh Month. End of the Great War to End all Wars. Changed to Veterans' Day after the Second World War and Korea.
Let us never forget that the price of freedom is eternal vigilance and sacrifice.
Thanks, brothers, and special thanks to those who fell.

Gentlemen,
Happy Veteran's Day, and stay safe out there. To my cousin, who just touched down on his first deployment, we're proud. Keep 'em safe, Doc.
Thanks, guys. Enjoy your day.

Thank you to all who have volunteered or answered the call to protect freedom. To all the warriors currently taking the fight to the enemy, God speed. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

To those who stand today in harm's way to protect this great Nation and to those who have served with honor and courage in past, thank you. You are my heroes.
