The day this is written is November 11, 2005, Veterans Day. This week I digress from real estate to honor those who make it possible to even have a real estate market, and the quiet enjoyment of home ownership.

Thank you to all veterans past, from the trenches and mustard gas of WWI, to the WWII greatest generation that served unselfishly to free nations and mankind, to the Korean troops who when surrounded on all sides and outnumbered 100 to 1 said “They can’t get away from us now!”, and to the veterans of Viet Nam, who so bravely and honorably served yet had their mission ruined by a biased liberal media, and dishonest service members. Thank you all, you are appreciated.

However the message today is for those who currently serve. The American Family is behind you, is proud of you, believes in your mission, and will see you through. Pay no attention to the politicians that call your commander in chief a liar without evidence, who tout intelligence was manipulated to obtain permission to go to war, and pay no attention to the liberal press and media blasting these false messages daily to the American people. Pay no attention to polls that say your president has lost support for you and the war. Pay no attention because the silent majority is not counted in these polls.

Today and everyday I pray for your safety, and for your victory over terror. Pay no attention to the biased media attempting to influence America to their view, the silent majority despises them for their actions. The media, and liberal politicians will do and say anything for their own personal gain, they care for nothing other than power, and duty is a foreign concept to them.

To you who serve today, thank you for rising above the din of the liberal media, the selfengrandizing liberal politician, and answering the call to duty. The terrorists are evil and have taken a vow to kill Americans, their families, and their values of freedom and democracy. Yours is a noble mission.

To you in the silent majority, understanding what is at stake, the very survival of democracy and freedom, it is time to be heard. Let those who serve today know of your love, honor, respect, and support for them.

To you who continue to obstruct and subvert the effort toward victory, either form your elected positions, or liberal media, I say stand down this Veterans Day as we salute those who serve out of duty, and not for personal gain, as you selfishly do whenever you attack the mission of brave and noble Americans in service.

To you who serve today, Thank You, and God Bless you. You are appreciated by more than the silent majority. Ask your fellow veterans who have seen the gleam in the eyes of an oppressed man, woman, or child experiencing the first taste of freedom, and know with your victory, the children of tomorrow can have that gleam in their eyes.
