Paying tribute to America’s veterans, Presidential hopeful Herman Cain teams up with highly decorated Colonel Michael Steele to offer a powerful and moving message to the men, women, and families of our armed services.
Colonel Steele was the company commander of the Third Battalion 75th Ranger Regiment, during Operation Gothic Serpent, the basis for the book and subsequent movie, “Blackhawk Down.”
Veterans Day is celebrated on November 11th, the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I, formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918.
From the Berlin Wall to Mogadishu to Iraq, Colonel Steele has served his country well, and Herman Cain is honored to have a friendship with a man so respected and decorated as the Colonel. Please join us in honoring our proud and heroic Veterans on this and every day.
Thank-you and God bless all our servicemen and women, and God bless America.
I have nothing more to say today than a hearty “thank you” to all the veterans who have served this country so bravely and valiantly. There is no more a fitting tribute than Trace Adkins singing his hit song, ‘Till the Last Shot’s Fired‘ at an earlier Academy of Country Music Awards show.
And thank you to the West Point Glee Club who accompanied Trace on this song. If you don’t need a tissue while watching this video, you don’t have a soul. God bless our men and women who have served, and continue to provide us the freedoms we so often take for granted.
And a BIG thank you to Trace Adkins. Love you, man.
Last week, Glenn Beck had on authors Rebeccca Pepin and Ruth McGlothlin, of the new book “Faces of Freedom.” This book is dedicated to 52 heroes who have fought for freedom in the current war on terror, and all proceeds of the book sales go to the Fisher House and the the Wounded Warrior Project. If you want to contribute to this effort, or buy the book, please visit RebeccaPepin.com.
Rebecca is from Canada, but is a newly-naturalized citizen of the United States, and is very proud to have been a part of this project. An extra note about the book is that it includes a tribute to Navy SEAL Danny Dietz, who was so proudly honored by Marcus Luttrell in his book “Lone Survivor” about the largest single loss of Navy SEALs ever.
Ruth’s son, Ryan, is also honored in this book, and he carried a poem in his pocket titled “Don’t Quit.” Ryan signed up but never got to serve, however. He signed up yet his life was cut short before he could fulfill his dream of service to this country.
Please go here and BUY THIS BOOK! Your money will go to great causes.
Today, Chris Wallace hosted a special show with historian Patrick O’Donnell and featuring WWII hero, Sgt. Frank South of the Army Rangers. Here are just a few highlights from today’s ceremonies and coverage of the tribute at the Normandy Memorial in France. What a fantastic salute to America’s greatest generation. Chris Wallace, Mr. O’Donnell, Sgt. South, and Wendell Goler were all moved to tears at some point.
God bless this generation of heroes, and may we never forget the sacrifices they made for us.
