Armed Forces Day honors those Americans who are, today, protecting our freedom, under arms, in the U.S. military services.
Veterans Day honors those who protected us in the past. Memorial Day honors those who died in our nation’s service, and those veterans who have passed on. Armed Forces Day honors and celebrates living Americans, to whom we owe immediate thanks.
Fly your flag today in their honor. Today is Armed Forces Day.

Come on in, the water's fine. Come often: Cleanliness is next to godliness.

Former airline real estate, telecom towers, Big 6 (that old!) consultant. Lab and field research in air pollution control. My blog, Millard Fillmore's Bathtub, is a continuing experiment to test how to use blogs to improve and speed up learning processes for students, perhaps by making some of the courses actually interesting. It is a blog for teachers, to see if we can use blogs. It is for people interested in social studies and social studies education, to see if we can learn to get it right. It's a blog for science fans, to promote good science and good science policy. It's a blog for people interested in good government and how to achieve it.

Your armed forces are no longer protecting your freedoms. This isn’t WWII or a Cold War; this is now naked imperial aggression.
I am sure many men & women are serving in your armed forces, with completely honorable intentions; there are others without any honor in the matter, who are willing accomplices in the aggression happening in Afghanistan or Iraq.
Celebrating ‘Armed Forces Day’, for any patriotic American, should be with mixed emotions.
