“VETERANS DAY MAY NOT MATTER TO THE REST OF THE WORLD…BUT VETERANS MEAN THE WORLD TO ME.“
–Sheila Tolley–
Day: November 11, 2025
Bullet Holes in the Sky
It’s the 11th of November down in Nashville Tennessee
Free breakfast at the Waffle House if I show ’em my I.D
A parade up on the riverfront, you can hear the trumpets play
Hands on hearts, the color guard kicks it off on Veterans Day
And they thank me for my service and wave their little flags
They genuflect on Sundays and yes, they’d send us back
But I believe in God and country and in the angels up on high
And in heaven shining down on us through bullet holes in the sky
Waitress asks me how I’m doing but I don’t know what to say
I was thinking ’bout the battlefield the night I learned to pray
Marchers make their way down Main Street, the crowd begins to cheer
I feel my chest exploding as my eyes fill up with tears
They thank me for my service and wave their little flags
They genuflect on Sundays and yes, they’d send us back
But I believe in God and country and in the angels up on high
And in heaven shining down on us through bullet holes in the sky
Oh Jesus said forgive them, they know not what they do
And he’s here with me this morning and his words they still ring true
So I hang my head and pray for those we lost and those who remain
As the clouds burst over Nashville – it begins to rain
And they thank me for my service and wave their little flags
They genuflect on Sundays and yes they’d send us back
But I believe in God and country and in the angels up on high
And in heaven shining down on us through bullet holes in the sky
And in heaven shining down on us through bullet holes in the sky
IN VIETNAM…
Beer cans were attached to the perimeter barbed wire barrier to provide an early warning system when someone or something attempted to breach a fortified area. Loose stones were sometimes put in the beer cans to help amplify the sound. Vietnam vets had to use what resources were available to protect against a determined enemy. It might have also been a psychological tactic to remind our adversaries that we had beer to drink while they drank rain water.

IN ITALY….
HOWARD WAYNE CARLIN was a veteran of World War ll. He marched by Mussolini hanging in the street. What they need to do to all world leaders who want war at all cost.

PRAISE GOD FOR THE INSIGHT OF GENERAL DWIGHT EISENHOWER
I THINK WE ARE ‘SOMEWHERE DOWN THE ROAD.’
When I was a kid, I couldn’t understand why Eisenhower was so popular. Maybe this will explain why General Eisenhower Warned Us. It is a matter of history that when the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower, found the victims of the death camps he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead.
He did this because he said in words to this effect: ‘Get it all on record now – get the films – get the witnesses – because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.’
Last year, the UK debated whether to remove The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it ‘offends’ the Muslim population which claims it never occurred. It is not removed as yet. However, this is a frightening warning of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it.
In America:
Federal legislation: The federal “Never Again Education Act” was passed in 2020 to support Holocaust education across the country, but it is up to individual states to implement mandates.
States with mandates: 29 states have laws requiring Holocaust education, with the number of mandates increasing significantly in recent years.
States without mandates: 21 states lack comprehensive or mandatory Holocaust education laws.
Varying approaches: The nature of the mandates differs, ranging from specific requirements for the content to broader directives that encourage its inclusion.
It is now more than 70 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. Six million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians, and 1,900 Catholic priests were ‘murdered, raped, burned, starved, beaten, experimented on and humiliated’ while many in the world looked the other way!
Now, more than ever…with Iran, our college students and professors, among others, claiming the Holocaust to be ‘a myth,’ it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets.
* How many years will it be before the attack on The World Trade Center ‘NEVER HAPPENED’, because it offends some Muslims?
Remember when all classrooms had an American flag in them?
Do they even teach our children about the World Trade Center attacks in 1993 and 2001, or did it go the way of Pearl Harbor and Veterans Day?
Don’t even mention Christmas or Hanukkah or prayers in school. Schools no longer recite the Pledge of Allegiance and many children do not know the words to our National Anthem, or that we even have one!
Please do not just delete this message, it will take only a minute to pass this along.
*Don’t forget Ilhan has already shrugged her (I don’t care) shoulders and stated that “something happened on 9/11″ and Mamdani is quite sad that “his Muslim aunt was afraid to take the subway after 9/11.” We must face the fact that we can no longer place too much trust in people who we previously considered leaders. For over two hours, Tucker Carlson turned his microphone over to Nick Fuentes, a Far Right Antisemitic Activist. Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Green are evidently drinking from the same water fountain at the moment.
Yes Indeed, we are ‘SOMEWHERE DOWN THE ROAD.’

NATIONAL NEWS
You can’t make anything ‘proof’ if laws aren’t enforced, like under the Biden Democrats. I haven’t seen one department that wasn’t corrupted.
All lawmakers and their staffs should be included in the shut downs—-NO SALARIES. They continue to play Americans for fools.
More progress.
I would give my orange spots to see this lowlife in prison or spend a million on attorney fees.

How would they even pay the interest ???
I believe NOTHING the BBC says. They are like American politicians that get caught and apologize for their crimes. They are sorry they got caught.
The BBC crap was 3 years after the 2020 election. FJB AND THE BBC.
