Why not recognize those that are actively deployed?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-163200751766730412019-11-11T09:05:46.328-06:002019-11-11T09:05:46.328-06:00God Bless all veterans, and thank you! 🇨🇦🇺🇸God Bless all veterans, and thank you! 🇨🇦🇺🇸Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09123354699039451021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-12832548246331272412019-11-11T07:17:03.690-06:002019-11-11T07:17:03.690-06:00"we lament that promise of the war to end all...<i>"we lament that promise of the war to end all wars has not been kept."</i><br /><br />British author and social commentator H. G. Wells first used that phrase in a series of articles in 1914, which appeared in his book, <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=vhpnAAAAMAAJ&printsec=frontcover&f=false" rel="nofollow"><i>The War That Will End War</i></a>, two and a half years before the U.S. entered the war. Even then the phrase was met with skepticism in England. Woodrow Wilson is known to have used the phrase once. <br /><br />Wilson used the phrase, "make the world safe for democracy," to lead the U.S. into WWI, or as described in Jim Powell's book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Wilsons-War-Woodrow-Blunder-Hitler/dp/1400082366" rel="nofollow"><i>Wilson's War: How Woodrow Wilson's Great Blunder Led to Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, and World War II</i></a>.Carl Vehsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00348831096001668813noreply@blogger.com
