On this Veterans Day, let us never forget a statement made by former British Prime Minister Tony Blair:

“A simple way to take true measure of a country is to look at two things, how many people want to get in and how many want to get out.”

It’s been said we should “always remember that in the history of mankind, there have only been two defining forces willing to die for you. The first was Jesus Christ and the second was the American soldier. One died for your soul and to save you from sin; the died so that you and future generations may have your freedom.”

May God always bless America.
