I’m watching Fox News Sunday this Memorial Day listening to the great “Progressive” icon of the right, Senator John McCain, whine about the failure of America to protect some Middle East terrorists from other Middle East terrorists in Syria. Following up his disgraceful support, (along with that of S.of S. Hillary Clinton and President barack Obama), of the Muslim Brotherhood takeovers in Libya and Egypt, he is near apoplectic in our failure to fight terrorist’s battles for them.

I would like to ask this great “Progressive” icon of the right, Senator John McCain, what our upside has been in Libya and Egypt? We are now funding our avowed enemies, an organization dedicated to destroying America from both within and without. We are still giving over a billion dollars a year to Egypt. We give hundreds of millions of dollars to the PLO.

Memorial Day through a warrior’s eyes

By Jim Emerson, staff writer

Originally known as Decoration Day until 1882, Memorial Day is a day of remembrance of America’s war-fighters who died in the service of our nation. The origin of the day is uncertain but it most likely started with Southern Ladies decorating the graves of fallen Confederate soldiers’ graves during the Civil War or the random organization of groups to honor the dead in several locations around the nation on both sides of the War. The Civil War tapped the need of decent people to honor their side’s dead as well as their loved ones who had fallen for their cause.

The first official proclamation establishing the day was from General John Logan on 5 May 1868 and was first observed on May 30, of that year, when flowers were placed on the graves of Union soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. The Northern states were the first to observe Memorial day on the last of … Continue Reading:Memorial Day through a warrior’s eyes
