The recent traitorous attempt by President Obama to rewrite the history of America's war against Japanese imperialism, ignores the lessons of history. Obama displays the perspective of a typical truth impaired, ignorant, partially educated, affirmative action, indoctrinated college student lacking basic knowledge of philosophy, economics and history.

No one should have to fight blindly against the enemy — knowledge IS power, and the truth of any situation even more powerful. No one has ever had all the facts for a set of circumstances or a certain situation, only God has the entire picture, so human expertise has its limitations. However, gathering as many facts as possible, organizing them in a logical progression, studying them carefully, looking for strengths and weaknesses, can ultimately bring together a rather comprehensive picture for all to see.

As lead prosecutor, Andrew McCarthy, continued to involve himself and his legal team in further and deeper knowledge of the enemy in order to successfully bring to trial and to win the U.S. government's case against Sheik Abdel Rahman, aka the Blind Sheik, for the World Trade Center bombing which killed and maimed hundreds of Americans in 1993 in New York City.

I was honored to attend and cover Saturday's Vietnam War Remembrance and Welcome Home ceremony near the Nevada Vietnam War Memorial at Mills Park.

While there, a television image suddenly came to mind of a Vietnam War veteran sitting alone at the counter of a cafe while a young boy and his mother paid attention to a uniformed service man who had just come in.

The scene was from a television spot paid for by moments.org, a production of the INSP network, entitled "Thank You For Your Service (A Moment of Truth)."

When Melinda Cash started walking at Lone Mountain Cemetery in search of headstones for her genealogy hobby, she would frequently come upon a bare plot with nothing more than a small tin temporary marker — or often nothing at all — to identify the person buried there.

These weren’t vacant plots, but occupied graves without the dignity of proper, permanent burial markers.

The reality that some at rest in Lone Mountain Cemetery lack recognition from the living world left Cash with an unsettled feeling. It was enough to give her pause.

We also honor and remember those that have recently fallen while battling the evil of tyranny. We honor and remember those that fight on the battlefields today, those that protect all of us from certain death and destruction. There are a few who do not remember nor understand what has happened and what is happening even now. Remind them.
