I don't begrudge a holiday dedicated to veterans...
I am a Navy veteran myself but it was during the nam yrs
and at that time, in my opinion, we lost the war because of
the leadership (the so called whiz kids and lbj)... history has again
repeated itself because of Biden and his handlers ineptness
I don't have a problem with those who fought in Iraq and
Afghanistan but as I have already stated, the reptition
goes on     :salute

It was my very great privilege to watch this in person on November 11. It seemed to be doing a pass over all the small towns in the vicinity of it's home in Hamilton Ontario.
