Well, this is the second article on Veterans Day. The first article today was about my hike on House Mountain last Sunday afternoon.
This entry combines two topics. The first one is about the recent election. The second is about Veterans Day.
Election Day, 11/4/2020
Election Day, 2020, including the months leading up to the day, the day itself, and the aftermath, was an indication that this once-great nation is now a banana republic. I used to watch the 24-hour “fair and balanced” station for an hour or so in the evenings. I don’t follow the political minutiae, as some do. My good friend, Jim C., keeps me updated by his emails.
To my understanding, the “vote early and often” gang must have done well. Apparently, the puppet-string socialist, Biden, has won. Trump and his allies might be able to force a valid recount. The dirty tricksters, however, seem to have won it for the Puppet. Of course, the Puppet, unless he is mentally enhanced by whatever medicine he takes, does not know for which office he ran, in what state he is, and so forth. Eventually, his vice president could become president, if he resigns or is declared unfit for office.
Yesterday, I had a brief phone conversation with our niece, the daughter of my wife’s sister, on her birthday. One of my remarks was that I would keep doing my best in this “mad, mad, new world, in which we live.” It wasn’t my usual sarcastic humor. I was and am serious.
I will continue to stand as a free man in a once-great-and-free nation. As my father said for many years before he passed, “This country is about gone, boys.” Dad was right. I am right. Dad stood. I stand.
Okay, that’s enough of “poly-ticks!” Let's fast-forward seven days to today’s date, Veterans Day.
Veterans Day, 11/11/2020
I wish that this once-great nation would act right and live up to the sacrifices of so many veterans, many gone and many still living. Veterans love this nation. So many in this nation do not.
In the name of freedom, veterans, I thank you for your service to this nation! You are still proud and tall in your honor and by our honor to you on this day and every day.
It’s just after 5 PM. I have just enough time before supper to call my veteran brother and my veteran friend “Gator.”
