Happy Veteran’s Day to my brothers and sisters in harm's way and back here on the home front.
Unlike most politicians and some citizens who give you the obligatory greeting and salutation, I truly mean it from the heart that beats with yours, and stops with every loss.
Some declare themselves as “Antiwar” as if you are for war! This shows their ignorance and misunderstanding! The soldier is sent to war by the politicians who disdain both! The soldier is not for war as is the poor and mislead, antiwar ideologue; but the soldier responds to the call to defend their country; unlike most politicians and the lost souls of the antiwar clan. With Honor, the soldier dies for them both!

SPORTS UPDATE:
On Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers crushed the Denver Broncos 28-10, but the game easily could have been 42-10. The Denver offense scored their only points -- 3 -- on their first drive. Their defense score the other 7.

Local happenings:
The replica ships Pinta and Nina, which are exact copies of the ships that Christopher Columbus used for his voyages are in Pittsburgh this week! The Nina was his favorite that he used for 3 1/2 voyages. When you see these ships and the relatively small size of them, although big for their time, it becomes apparent that these men were very bold and brave to do what they did. To cross the ocean, thinking that it may be flat and they could fall off, these wooden ships would have been extremely frightful. The crew was made up mostly of slaves, and this crew slept on deck, only the Captain, Christopher Columbus slept down below in a compartment. None of the crew perished on their voyage, which again is amazing!
