Politcal Rants of an Idepenednt Southerner

Armed Forces Day - Originates from the date of August 31, 1949, when Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson announced the creation to serve as a day to thank and honor the men and women currently serving in our nation's military. Veterans Day- In 1919 on the 11th of November “Armistice Day” was created and that is the beginning of  Veterans Day. I day we as Americans use to honor those who served in any war to date and thank them for their sacrifice rather physical mental or the fact they did with out so we could have the lives we do. Memorial Day- Memorial Day is an American Holiday created to honor the ultimate sacrifice a member of our nation's military has paid for our freedoms. On the last Monday in May we honor those service members.

Can you not see what we are doing to ourselves. Our ever growing finical deficit is going to be the end of us. IF any of our debts were called in today we would have no way to pay them off. We need someone who can actually find a way to make a balanced budget that works for our Government while maintaining our military as one of the greatest in the World.

Yet our military gets just above minimum wage to defend our country. A young man can enlist on his own at 18 and make just ab...
