And we have to watch an American elected leader who apologizes to Europe and the Middle East that our country is "Arrogant"!

HOW MANY FRENCH, DUTCH, ITALIANS, BELGIANS AND BRITS ARE BURIED ON OUR SOIL, DEFENDING US AGAINST OUR ENEMIES?

Apologize to no one. Remind those of our sacrifice and don't confuse arrogance with leadership. If I added correctly the count is 104,366 dead.

We don't ask for praise - but we have ABSOLUTELY NO NEED TO APOLOGIZE.

Don't want to take a thing away form the posting except the chance somebody will nitpick it--Are any of La Fayette's men buried on our soil?

Thank you for that. Was listening to NPR (yes, I know, it's really slanted to the left)today and they were "preparing" for Columbus Day. Won't go into this either, but I'm sure old BO will be crying to his press about what crooks we are.
