Veterans Day 2022 - Thank You For Your Service

For veterans like Peter Cochran and other members of the Brown and Lynch American legion Post #9, the service continues after they lay their arms down. They perform as the Color Guard in naturalization ceremonies. 

And then, after the pledge of allegiance, the colors are retired and these old citizen soldiers fade away, no longer needed.
For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Chuck him out, the brute!"
But it's "Saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot;

Thank a Veteran today. They are the real patriots.

Brown AND Lynch American Legion Post?? You can't make this stuff up, but I thought fer sure you did! Had to Google it to prove it was a real American Legion Post. Pretty ironic, don't ya think? I mean no disrespect for Post #9's namesakes. But I got lots for Johnny Brownstain and Steroid Steve. Many thanks to all our veterans for your service!

I’ve seen Peter shoot an airborne aspirin tablet into smithereens from 100 yards with an old lever action.22 Henry rifle he didn’t even seem surprised

Hope by next veterans some state that can't count ballots will go to states that can and find out what they are doing wrong.

The courage, sacrifice, and patriotism of our fallen soldiers, and most of those still living, is something we can never fully appreciate unless we’ve lived it ourselves. Unfortunately, many of these same heroes would be so disappointed with the current state of this nation, and the declining morality of its citizens. Oh, where have all the REAL men and women gone?

By “declining morality” do you mean things like gay marriage and civil rights? Some of us call that progress.

"We speak English in this country."

We do. We also speak Spanish, French, Italian, Polish, Slovak, German, Russian, Ukranian, Hindi, Farsi, Aramaic, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Korean, etc. We are and should always be a melting pot.

"By “declining morality” do you mean things like gay marriage and civil rights? Some of us call that progress."

First, this really is off topic.
Second, nothing in that comment suggests a slur on gay marriage or civil rights. That is a product of your imagination. I think it more likely directed at the increasing violence and rampant crime.
Third, it is not gay marriage and civil rights. It is civil rights. Gay marriage is a part of civil rights.

Not to mention what remains of some 500 Indigenous American languages and dialects that echoed across this country for 1000s of years before we English fuckers showed up.

Buwahahha I thought he quit social media after getting beat like a rug

I wonder what he did to get a 7 day suspension- white fragility at its finest

The we speak English comment was meant as a sarcastic response to the preceding garbled comment. It wasn’t meant as a xenophobic comment. Sorry for the confusion.

Bernie, I know all you democrats are so happy there was no red wave, but the Truth of matter is we will now have to live with our current situation, which is not good for our people, I think the holidays and beyond is not going to be a happy time. A veteran of Korea and Viet Nam

Bernie Why didn't Wolf campaign for Fetterman-?

The best shooting lesson I ever had was a few minutes with a Pete Cochran. If you ever get a chance to here his marksmanship wisdom, it will pay dividends.

Bernie O'Hare said...

"Bernie Why didn't Wolf campaign for Fetterman-?"

I don't know whether this claim is true. If it is, it's likely that's bc Fetterman's handlers felt it would hurt him. I'm almost certain that Wolf did campaign for Fetterman at several rallies. I know for certain he did so in Philly.

What I do know is that R candidates avoided Mastriano like the plague. He hurt them anyway.

It's difficult to be certain from the photos and videos, but does anyone know for sure if un-American, leftist extremist Matt Tuerk boycotted Allentown's Veterans' Day commemoration led with such dignity by Chief Roca?

It seems Tuerk *really* doesn't like us Americans and our American holidays and commemorations.
