President Ronald Reagan said it best on November 11th, 1985:
God bless the American soldier and service member, who fights and fought for the United States of America and for the rest of the world. The US is the last and best chance for freedom planet-wide.
Without a strong United States, freedom around the globe is threatened.

And POTUS couldn’t honor the dead because it was raining! He says he cares for the vets but look at his actions. Shocking.
That’s a trilateral decision between POTUS, the USSS and Marine One pilots. And no, I don’t doubt Trump’s dedication to the American military or its law enforcement.

Saw where flight was canceled because of assassination plot was discovered on Macron. Seems like a prudent decision to me.
No back up plan? Had he wanted he could have got there. Instead he spent most of the day watching cable news and tweeting!
And yes TF you missed this: Nothing is more aggravating than reading something on social media that is a blatant untruth. President Trump didn’t refuse to visit fallen soldiers graves because of rain, it was because of a credible threat of assassination. I try my best to avoid responding to idiotic postings. Is it too much to ask for people to do a little homework? These same people had no problem when president Obama refused to recognize American soldiers during his apology tours.

Credible threat of assassination! You have to be joking. The threat against Macron was Tuesday before the Sunday. Anyway the White House has now clarified. It wasn’t due to rain, he didn’t want to cause a traffic jam!
Thanks for remembering. TFred, did you ever complain about Obummer refusing to take the 15 minute ride to Arlington year after year??? This day is about VETERANS, not your pretty BS griping.
Did I complain about Obama “refusing to take the 15 minute ride to Arlington year after year”? Nope, you are right I did not….why? Let me explain.
Firstly Memorial Day, Obama laid a wreath at Arlington every year except for 2010. So he took the 15 min ride in
2009
2011
2012
2013
2014
2015
2016
But what about Veterans Day you might well ask. Well there his attendance was not quite so stellar.
2009 – yes was there
2010 – nope he did not take that 15 minute ride….but wait a minute it wasnt a 15 minute ride. He was in South Korea
2011 – Arlington
2012 – Arlington
2013 – Arlington
2014 – nope again he did not take that 15 minute ride, but wait a minute, was he in the country…….nope he was in China
2015 – Arlington
2016 – Arlington
Saying something does not make it a fact, or even an alternative fact. The above shows the facts.
Dear TF:
Did I complain about Obama “refusing to take the 15 minute ride to Arlington year after year”? Nope, I did not either.
Your point is simple. You hate Trump. I get it. We will differ on that from now until forever.
Love,
BZ
You are right BZ you did not complain but OLd NFO did and you thanked him for “facts in evidence”. I know that you try to keep this blog factful and I wanted to set the record straight. It is fine to disagree with someone but don’t just make things up, which Old NFO seemed to do, or was he actually under the impression that Obama did refuse to take the 15 minute drive time after time? It would be interesting to know but, unfortunately, he has chosen not to respond.
I do not hate Trump. I do dislike his apparent disregard for the truth which seemed to start on day one with those ridiculous statements about the size of the crowd. It annoys me. He should focus on what has happened and stick to the facts such as the state of the US economy which is incredible. Yesterday Trump was described as a “truculent child president” a pretty good description in my view. He should let his record speak for itself .
Thank you NFO. Facts in evidence.
