Veterens Day

Veterans day is a day that everyone in the United States should celebrate and honor all the soldiers who are fihgting for us and the ones who has lost their lives fighting for us they should get lots of respect because they hae the courage to go out their and fight for us and we dont have anything to offer them but our prayers so they are doing this out of the kindness of their herat.

If our commander and chief was more leader and less Muslim...............

That would be enough to show respect for the veterans.

BY MAKING SURE THE COMMANDER AND CHIEF WAS BORN IN AMERICA

Another way is to make sure that the commander and chief isn't a muslim.
