Actual Obama quote:

"On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today — our sense of patriotism is particularly strong."

Veterans Day honors all who have served the American military in wars.

I believe Veterans Day honors all vets, not just those who have served in wars.

I have conflicting opinions on war, as voiced by two of my historical heroes:

“It is a good thing that war is so terrible, or we should grow too fond of it” - General Robert E. Lee

“Compared to war, all other forms of human endeavor shrink to insignificance.” - General George S. Patton Jr.

Please build a monument to Jane Fonda. Pretty please.

I can think of a number of ways to honor her monument.
