In this episode of The 2030 Podcast show, it is just myself again, Sgt. Fred, with some words about a very special day in November — the national holiday of Veterans Day (once known as Armistice Day). So this is a monologue episode, and we do wait fo the return of our co-host, Matt Cox, soon, since he is buried with work in his job.
And here, we discuss a potential trend by the radical left on the local scale to do away with Veterans Day remembrance, celebration, ceremonies and parades.
Veterans Day Parade — the local event
In Austin, we saw that the annual Veterans Day parade was canceled by the liberal council, and there is no indication if this annual event will ever be coming back. Yes, the liberal leaders cited the excuse of the virus crisis — i.e., the sham-demic, planned-demic or scam-demic. Even the jabs of what are called “vaccines” (because they are not really vaccines; they are only jabs filled with graphene oxide, other toxins and perhaps some blood thinner at an experimental level and not fully approved and tested — having caused over 17,000 deaths and 700,000 injuries) were not enough to allow the parade to go on, while “super-spreaders” of the so-called virus can go on, such as the Cop 26 conference on the phony climate change, which not only had so many carriers in one spot, but also polluted the air with all the private jets arriving and departing.
We see that the liberal left is not entertaining a return to the normal annual Veterans Day parade and ceremonies, but instead want to take down statues at the state capitol grounds dedicated to former veterans and historical figures — remember, Texas was one of the 11 confederate states during the civil war, and the men who fought for the south were veterans, as well as the Union troops.
The Field of Honor honors and celebrates Veterans
Now, I am a veteran of the US Army, having served in the 23rd Infantry Division (Americal) as a combat infantryman in the Vietnam War, and also as an airborne paratrooper for 2 tours with the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, North Carolina (yes, liberals, I say FORT BRAGG, since Braxton Bragg was an officer who fought in the Union Army during the Mexican War of 1846-48, before he was an officer in the Confederate Army in the war between the states).
In the Austin, Texas, area, there is a town called Georgetown in Williamson County. They held a week’s event with the presence of the mobile Vietnam Wall and all sorts of ceremonies and exhibits, small parade, etc., to honor the veterans and first-responders.
A day to be remembered — Field of Honor paid tribute to Veterans and First Responders in a very patriotic and euphoric week of ceremonies and the mobile Vietnam Wall.
I had the privilege to attend the parade, and to see the mobile Vietnam Wall (I do this as often as possible when the wall is near me). And since I was here in Austin, Texas, at the time, I also signed up for a live, personal interview (which was recorded in video) to share my experiences of being a Vietnam Veteran and what that meant for me.
Let me tell you, I was deeply moved by the PATRIOTISM and selfless giving that was shared and felt at that field. It reminded me of the way that the Veterans should be honored and celebrated — and not the way the woke movement and the liberals want to do away with it. This event gave me a euphoric feeling that surged a patriotic and thankful feeling for me and for other veterans.
I know that in some local areas where the liberals are not in political power that these events will continue as long as they can. However, the radical left is desperately trying to eliminate the feelings of patriotism, history, allegiance to the country so that they can perpetuate the marxist and communist themes espoused by the liberals today.
Now, I see the trend to 2030 to be a growth in the woke-centered areas in California and New York and other leftist cities to be leaning toward an elimination of the Veterans Day celebration, and then an attempt and movement to do away with the national holiday called Veterans Day, and to defund the veterans cemeteries, as well as the VA hospital system for veterans health.
This is something that should be stopped and not allowed to grow, for we must always remember that “if you love your freedom, then thank a veteran.” And the left can go to hell, as far as I am concerned, for they are the recipients of the sacrifices of veterans, but they themselves have not EARNED the right to its freedom or results.
I daily look at my Zippo cigarette lighter (the one I had while in Vietnam some 50 years ago) and the inscription engraved on it says the truth about these liberal know-it-alls and thankless beings: “For those who have fought for it, freedom has a taste that the protected will never know.”
On veterans day, I am going out and celebrating the day with other veterans, to thank them for their service. And when I get a radical left liberal talking about Vietnam, I shove an emblem in his face about Vietnam Veterans that says “If you haven’t been there, then shut your mouth.”
I sincerely hope that you can remember Veterans Day ceremonies and events, for the remembrance is so important to remaining free and appreciating what you have — freedom from the oppressive communist and marxist regimes that the radical left is trying to impose on you.
Thank you for your attention, and we hope to return with Matt Cox as co-host soon in the future.
