Veterans Day
On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918 the guns fell, generally, silent. Today we honor all who have served and serve today in our military. May God bless them.
O LORD God of Hosts, stretch forth, we pray thee, thine almighty arm to strengthen and protect the soldiers of our country; Support them in the day of battle, and in the time of peace keep them safe from all evil; endue them with courage and loyalty; and grant that in all things they may serve without reproach; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Respect,

Respect Melania
Melania is vilified by our Godless, mendacious, boastful, belligerent, condescending, prideful Press, but for all that she's the Colonel (Hon) of an irregular troop of horsemen, the prestigious Dallas Light Cavalry (DLC). And that's not all, she's no mean artist, have a look:
Well you can see why the boys like her and the pedo rainbow Satans hate her. Here at DLC HQ we respect our honorary Colonel and suggest you do too.

Cat From Hue
A kind reader of this inconsequential mind blog sent me a book, The Cat From Hue. He was, forgive me if I'm wrong, trying to make sense of the Vietnam conflict as was the author himself, a CBS journalist who got right in the thick of things. Like no fooling.
And what things they were. The book starts off in 1965 and moves from there to Tet and I'm struck by the no-nonsense of the prose, the bravery of the reporters and the men they cover. Also, and this stands out, the number of WWII and Korean vets in the story.
There they were, on their third war, yes, people who'd seen action at Bastogne and Imjin equivalents. I don't dare comment except to say that this is an outstanding book written by a good man. Read it, you won't be disappointed, The Cat From Hue.
Semper,

D-Day
There we were in the sacristy, getting ready for Mass. "What day is it, Padre?" asked the MC. "It's the second Sunday after Pentecost or Corpus Christi transferred," I replied, quick as you like but missing the point. "No, what happened on this day, 1944?"
D-Day happened, and we stopped for a moment, silent, struck by the thought of all those kids who gave their lives. Words fail, at least for me. So we prayed for the fallen and gave thanks for the victory.
Honor the men who stormed those beaches by standing fast for what's right and true. Here endeth the lesson.
God bless,
