LIVE: 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War

The two commie cables, CNN and PMSNBC showed NOT A MINUTE of the sacred ceremonies from anywhere in the USA. Instead, I saw them airing nasty bash-Trump panel shows.

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. :-)

Sitting here in my recliner, recovering from total knee replacement this past Wednesday and was watching the start of the Manchester City vs. Manchester United football (soccer for USA fans) match at City. They had a great ceremony with Brit soldiers with a small type bugle and playing a "song" or whatever it is called on a bugle, in memory of all Brit men and women who died in WWI and all preceding wars. Very moving. The players were circled the circle at mid-field and had their arms around each other. The refs wore a red flower on their kits as did the players. They did this at all the games this weekend in England.

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.

He was awarded, among others, two Silver Stars, three Purple Hearts and also the same medal as your grandfather from France.

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.
