Ambassador Nick Burns has it exactly right. Hundreds of @NATO troops died under my command on the front lines in Afghanistan 2009-2013. I honor their memory every single day.
@EileenforCO Voluntary labeling uses market forces to determine if locally sourced truly is in demand. Please don’t follow DJT and try to manipulate a healthy functioning market. Just say no to Mandatory.
For so many, especially those who served and their families, Veterans Day is a day of reflection and remembrance. It’s also a day for the entire nation to recognize the men and women who bravely served our country.
The greatest honor of my life was to serve our nation with men and women from every corner of the country and every walk of life. We came from different places, had different stories, but we served as Americans. As brothers and sisters.
In a time when our nation is so divided, today let's come together to honor those who served our nation and fought for our right to speak freely and disagree, in pursuit of that more perfect union.
@WyoFile An Oscar for sure and also a reputation for being home of the stupid. A sure way to help our youth make their way in the world with this background for baggage.
I’m glad General George Washington didn’t say “let’s surrender because Great Britain is too powerful and defeating them is unlikely.” But, that is what some of our leaders are saying to Ukraine, the victim of a Russian invasion. Surrendering to a tyrant is not peace.
@Mpolymer That’s because just as Putin throws his men into a meat grinder to satisfy personal ambitions so too does Trump throw his citizens into an economic grinder to satisfy personal desires. They are the same.
@OKeeffe1@RepOgles@SpeakerJohnson They care don’t care about anything other than pleasing the master and his master Putin. A sorry lot of spineless politicians pretending to be leaders.
