Veteran's Day Tribute

Paying tribute to America's veterans, Presidential hopeful Herman Cain teams up with highly decorated Colonel Michael Steele to offer a powerful and moving message to the men, women, and families of our armed services.

Colonel Steele was the company commander of the Third Battalion 75th Ranger Regiment, during Operation Gothic Serpent, the basis for the book and subsequent movie, "Blackhawk Down."

Veterans Day is celebrated on November 11th, the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I, formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918.

From the Berlin Wall to Mogadishu to Iraq, Colonel Steele has served his country well, and Herman Cain is honored to have a friendship with a man so respected and decorated as the Colonel. Please join us in honoring our proud and heroic Veterans on this and every day.

Thank-you and God bless all our servicemen and women, and God bless America

Saw a cool image today in New york city....A WW2 Jeep, Ford, going down 5th avenue with “Kilroy IS here” written on the back with what seemed to be WW2 vets riding in it. The real deal not 10 feet from me. All I could think about was this is what it must have been like in 1921 and seeing Civil war vets. They are like Gods now.

Herman Cain and Colonel Steele . . . it couldn’t get any better on this special day. It is so inspiring to see Cain pay tribute to both Colonel Steele and all those who have served in the military. God Bless America!

Oh, if only my dad could have been with them. He was a Brooklyn boy who fought in WWII and only died three years ago. How I miss him!

Tell me about it, my pop died as well 7 years ago, but let me let you in on a little secret: The only true killer is time. And time doesn’t go just forward. It slows down, goes sideways, and even goes backwards. The past always exists but goes in infinite directions. You, I, our father, mother, always existed. There is no such thing as death, only love. It goes on forever. I know this to be true because when I was 2 years old I knew I was here before. It was my first memory and I felt like I always knew my parents. This is the eternal life of which Christ spoke. You will meet your father again.
