Honoring our Fallen Heroes...

The last Earthly remains of 55 of our soldiers, sailors and marines landed in Honolulu on Wednesday.  The plane carrying them arrived from North Korea, bringing our war dead to be repatriated with American soil.  A solemn, moving ceremony was conducted.  It was attended by more admirals and generals than have ever been gathered together before.  This was a Red Letter Day for America.  It deserved the attention of all those who believe they owe their peace and freedom to to the great men and women who've carried our banner into battle over the past 200+ years.  And have fallen...

We've been striving for more than 65 years to bring our dead heroes home.  Through the good offices of the Trump Administration, the process has begun.

You should know that when we choose to join the military we write a blank check to our fellow citizens and the Federal Government.  That check is written for a price of up and including...our lives. A part of the bargain that Government makes with our Fighting Forces is to never, ever leave them behind.  And that includes our dead.

Fox News covered the entire event, beginning-to-end.  CNN gave it a full 58 seconds of coverage.  MSNBC didn't feel compelled to mention it at all.

Those near either ocean seem to wonder why those in between, those in the so-called "flyover country," believe the MainStreamMedia is biased, and in some cases outright corrupt.  I direct those afflicted with this willful failure to accept the obvious to the foregoing data snippet.  They should need no further evidence.  

"Should," being the operative word here...
