Heads of states and governments attend ceremonies to mark the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Armistice which brought the First World War to a close. Watch live Sunday, Nov. 11 at 4am ET.
Even the NFL has a lot of people on coaching staffs dressed in Army green today. And, it might be my imagination, I happened to see the last couple minutes of the Bears game and it seemed like the field is more of an olive green than usual?
Fox Sports was broadcasting from an Army base - didn't catch which one, as I'm just going by the TV now & then when I come in from work in the yard . Taking a few minutes break now. :-)
Prepare yourself !

Funny, the announcer spoke of how all these people gave their lives for England's "freedoms"!!! I thought yes they did and are probably spinning in their graves as the muslim world takes over the UK. Funny how nations that fought the real dictators of history for their own freedoms, and yet here in this day, are giving all of those hard fought, much blood shed, in war after war for FREEDOM!!! (yelled like William Wallace at the end of Braveheart). And today, just freaking give that freedom away to another tyrant, known as Al-somethingtheother of Islam. Very, very sad.
Very sad even more, we are trying right behind them to do the same damned thing as stupid people in this nation give this nation's House of Reps back to idiots like Nancy the Piehole, and Maxine I have lost my marbles Waters. What the hell were people thinking???? Now two years of nothing out of the house. Idiots.
That is terrific. My grandfather actually got two Croix de Guerres. I have one of them. Despite being an M.D., he died in 1929 from a perforated ulcer despite 8 weeks of treatment for it. They didn't have the antibiotics or other treatment for it back then. I never knew him, but I knew his father, my great grandfather, who was born in the Civil War in frontier Texas. There were Indian raids in his county when he was young, and he remembered hiding from an Indian coming past their house.
Nice to see your description of events here, & prayers for your quick & complete recovery so you can get back on your bicycles!
Thanks. Have a great day.
