OBAMA TO APOLOGIZE TO GERMANY FOR WWII?

The American Cemetary at Henri-Chappelle, near Liege.


The latest inconceivable Obamaction is yet another unbecoming apology in Europe, this time in Germany for WWII. John Rosenthal suggests, "As bizarre as it may seem, President Obama’s impending trip to Dresden suggests that German revisionists have a friend in the White House".


Apparently U. S. History was not a required course in any of the schools attended by Teleprompter Jesus.


Time for a history lesson. What better day to teach the foreign exchange student in the White House a lesson about American exceptionalism, heroism, and greatness?


Head over to Atlas Shrugs for a great piece on Memorial Day.

Happy Memorial Day All

This Memorial Day we did something very special. We visited one of the three American Cemeteries in Belgium. The Henri-Chapelle American Cemetery is a World War II cemetery where many of the 7,989 soldiers buried there lost their lives in the Battle of the Bulge from 1944 - 1945.

We attended the Memorial Day Service which began with a Fly-over of F-16s flying in the Missing Man Formation, tributes from high-ranking officials in both French and English, a wreath laying ceremony, a tribute to the WWII veterans and families in the audience, a 21-gun salute, Taps, and ended with both the Belgian and American National Anthems.

This was a great experience and walking through the almost 8000 white cross headstones was very moving.

Enjoy the photos here and have a great Memorial Day
