President Obama Veterans Day Remarks
President Obama made the following Veterans Day speech at Arlington National Cemetery, most likely confusing Memorial Day with Veterans Day:
Thank you so much. Thank you. Please, be seated.
Thank you, Secretary Shinseki, for the generous introduction — more importantly, the extraordinary bravery in service to our country, both on and off the battlefield. I want to thank our outstanding Vice President, Joe Biden, and his wonderful wife, Dr. Jill Biden, for being here today. We want to thank the Bidens for their son, Beau’s, service as well; we’re glad he just got back from Iraq.
We want to say a special word of thanks to Brigadier General Karl Horst, who’s the Commander of the Military District of Washington, for being here, and for your lifetime of distinguished service to our nation. To Gene Crayton, president of the Paralyzed Veterans of America, thank you for being here. And to all the veterans’ service organizations for the extraordinary work, day in, day out on behalf of our nation’s heroes.
To the members of our armed forces and the veterans who are here today: I am deeply honored and humbled to spend Veterans Day with you in this sacred place where generations of heroes have come to rest — and generations of Americans have come to show their gratitude.
There are many honors and responsibilities that come with this job. But none is more profound than serving as Commander-in-Chief. Yesterday, I visited the troops at Fort Hood. We gathered in remembrance of those we recently lost. We paid tribute to the lives they led. And there was something that I saw in them; something that I see in the eyes of every soldier and sailor, airman, Marine and Coast Guardsman that I have had the privilege to meet in this country and around the world — and that thing is determination.
In this time of war, we gather here mindful that the generation serving today already deserves a place alongside previous generations for the courage they have shown and the sacrifices that they have made. In an era where so many acted only in pursuit of narrow self-interest, they’ve chosen the opposite. They chose to serve the cause that is greater than self; many even after they knew they’d be sent into harm’s way. And for the better part of a decade, they have endured tour after tour in distant and difficult places; they have protected us from danger; and they have given others the opportunity for a better life.
So to all of them — to our veterans, to the fallen, and to their families — there is no tribute, no commemoration, no praise that can truly match the magnitude of your service and your sacrifice.
This is a place where it is impossible not to be moved by that sacrifice. But even as we gather here this morning, people are gathering all across America, not only to express thanks of a grateful nation, but to tell stories that demand to be told. They’re stories of wars whose names have come to define eras; battles that echo throughout history. They’re stories of patriots who sacrificed in pursuit of a more perfect union: of a grandfather who marched across Europe; of a friend who fought in Vietnam; of a sister who served in Iraq. They’re the stories of generations of Americans who left home barely more than boys and girls, became men and women, and returned home heroes.
And when these Americans who had dedicated their lives to defending this country came home, many settled on a life of service, choosing to make their entire lives a tour of duty. Many chose to live a quiet life, trading one uniform and set of responsibilities for another — doctor, engineer, teacher, mom, dad. They bought homes, raised families, built businesses. They built the greatest middle class that the world has ever known. Some put away their medals, stayed humble about their service, and moved on. Some, carrying shrapnel and scars, found that they couldn’t.
We call this a holiday. But for many veterans, it’s another day of memories that drive them to live their lives each day as best as they possibly can. For our troops, it is another day in harm’s way. For their families, it is another day to feel the absence of a loved one, and the concern for their safety. For our wounded warriors, it is another day of slow and arduous recovery. And in this national cemetery, it is another day when grief remains fresh. So while it is important and proper that we mark this day, it is far more important we spend all our days determined to keep the promises that we’ve made to all who answer this country’s call.
Carved into the marble behind me are the words of our first Commander-in-Chief: “When we assumed the soldier, we did not lay aside the citizen.” Just as the contributions that our servicemen and women make to this nation don’t end when they take off their uniform, neither do our obligations to them. And when we fulfill those obligations, we aren’t just keeping faith with our veterans; we are keeping faith with the ideals of service and sacrifice upon which this republic was founded.
If we’re honest with ourselves, we’ll admit that there have been times where we as a nation have betrayed that sacred trust. Our Vietnam veterans served with great honor. They often came home greeted not with gratitude or support, but with condemnation and neglect. That’s something that will never happen again. To them and to all who have served, in every battle, in every war, we say that it’s never too late to say thank you. We honor your service. We are forever grateful. And just as you have not forgotten your missing comrades, neither, ever, will we. Our servicemen and women have been doing right by America for generations. And as long as I am Commander-in-Chief, America’s going to do right by them.
That is my message to all veterans today. That is my message to all who serve in harm’s way. To the husbands and wives back home doing the parenting of two. To the parents who watch their sons and daughters go off to war, and the children who wonder when mom and dad is coming home. To all our wounded warriors, and to the families who laid a loved one to rest. America will not let you down. We will take care of our own.
And to those who are serving in far-flung places today, when your tour ends, when you see our flag, when you touch our soil, you will be home in an America that is forever here for you just as you’ve been there for us. That is my promise — our nation’s promise — to you.
Ninety-one years ago today, the battlefields of Europe fell quiet as World War I came to a close. But we don’t mark this day each year as a celebration of victory, as proud of that victory as we are. We mark this day as a celebration of those who made victory possible. It’s a day we keep in our minds the brave men and women of this young nation — generations of them — who above all else believed in and fought for a set of ideals. Because they did, our country still stands; our founding principles still shine; nations around the world that once knew nothing but fear now know the blessings of freedom.
That is why we fight — in hopes of a day when we no longer need to. And that is why we gather at these solemn remembrances and reminders of war — to recommit ourselves to the hard work of peace.
There will be a day before long when this generation of servicemen and women step out of uniform. They will build families and lives of their own. God willing, they will grow old. And someday, their children, and their children’s children, will gather here to honor them.
Thank you. God bless you. And God bless the United States of America.

November 12th, 2009 at 12:20 am[CJ Note: I'm only approving this because it's so hilarious and entertaining, but has NOTHING to do with anything really!]
I think this may help you to understand;
Several years ago after leaving the armed services I was abducted by Greys 3-6th dimension that are working with Reptilian’s, “the Federation”. The Federation is “a NATO type organization”, of Greys Reptilian,Insectoid, Moth men, (recessive beings like the ones in the movies…There are about 42 different types of military males in various bases in the United States). Some of the reptilian bases are in the USA AZ, NM. You can find more information on these Orion beings discussed in thousands of contact books, and thousands of internet sites,(I’m not the only one who has been abducted). These humanoid beings lie, manipulate you until the point of near mental and physical breaking.
These Reptilian hybrids and Greys are working with a type of 5th & 6th dimension Ascended Brotherhood,
sub space beings controlling many “false” religions and human people. Why? A. for control, so that humans do not go into space to find their non human ET bases and ships. B. Because of our SOULS, this is very complicated to understand we have a “soul”, the soul is an atomic particle electric formation that is part of us,
but according to all legends and some modern technology the soul can be taken with the use of high frequency high voltage technology. The soul is a vestige of our “genetic” past that was a piece, in much the same way our reptilian lower brain is, of another space ET being. There are several types of ET’s that can remove this part of your body Reptilian, Greys, “Devils”, steal it and use it for longevity, for energy, and for their own race studies, just like some ETs do with our DNA ovum and sperm, thousands of very well documented cases around the world, I know this reads far off think this through please. C. For DNA, and because DNA is a resource for them like the soul is, and in many real medical ways!
This is important… Religion is a legend, *some are factual most are not*, a construct written by various non human
inter dimensional ET races and by some not so well educated semi-primitive humans, it is very misleading and troublesome, religion does not help us solve our problems of global warming, cancers, defense against recessive ET’s, economy…instead religion focuses on a construct which is incoherent, Jesus and god will help,* neither can be further from the truth (the bible, Koran, Buddha veydic texts etc. are full of wars initiated by; (”gods”** non human ET”S) never helping but instead killing humans, WWII. The earth is in the worst condition ever as is the human race. Read the newspapers….and neither Jesus, god nor budda is helping us. The churches are filled with pedophiles, ex-cons, dumb human beings mind controlled. Social studies, social support and human directed initiatives are a need, and we are being blinded my mind controlling ET”S.
I was taken to the “Federation” caves by physical barely visible in our spectrum..beings. I used infrared/spectrum lenses goggles to see them, including a type of sub-space being, as the attacks went on I compensated as much as I could. Regressive Beings working with Greys, called the White Brotherhood are the culprits. After my life threatening experiences of many years I learned from the Greys themselves buy watching and studying as I was being pulled, (they abducted me for sperm surgical removal, as they do with women’s eggs all around the world).
This is what I know to be true: AND OUR CHILDREN MUST BEGAIN TO ARM AND DEFEND THEMSELVES AGAINST THESE BEINGS, PRAYING AND AFRICAN VODOO ARE NOT REAL, AND SOME WHO TRY TO PRAY TO GOD ARE GOING TO KEEP GETTING ATTACKED!
If you are religious why would, if god did exist harm the pontiff? Hurt the popes by giving them parkinsonism, harm them with neurological disorders and knock them down and fracture their arms like with the current pope…these are harmful extraterrestrials!!
1. All extraterrestrials are physical carbon based, silicon based, or molecular based beings (ALL), including the ones who use magnetic field technology to cloak themselves, to travel,and as weapons and to appear as a human. The weapons I have seen and been subjected too are: Mind control, frequency signal control i.e. “the tower of babble”, around the world the transmitters are hidden in caves, and beamed in by Grey satellite. We humans desperately need better more advanced detection in the areas of detecting magnetic crafts in our atmosphere( non USA), frequency control detection, field technologies, laser detection and better weapons, better armed military, guns do not work against 6th dimension!!! i.e. stable plasmon technology. Some of these technologies can be detected with Geiger counters, and magnetic field detectors sold “on line”, directional is preferred..also passive radar detecting magnetic changes in our atmosphere and around our homes find the electrical devices on them,and around them in their nearby craft. For your homes and cars..some of the Grey and reptilian devices can be disrupted by MHz frequency devices built at home, someone could make a small fortune selling better portable particle and wave detection, and disruption devices for our pockets. High voltage tazer weapons work very well. Hand held powerful battery operated magnets,in close proximity can interfere with grey technologies,the size of a cell phone, need to be mass marketed for our protection. Magnetic shielding paint can shield a room in your house where no EMF or ELF is detected! Other races of sub space beings have technology that I have seen, are defended against with hand lasers, built at home!! 2.Critical, we are not the only humans in the universe or multi verse…there are humans from Lyra, Pleiadians, Andromidan, Cassiopeia, Simion and billions more! 3, Even more important the Grey Federation is using Religion to “Dumb Down”, all of us on earth. 3. All Religions have misleading information, there is no god, only extraterrestrials and human support groups from other worlds, the earths which NASA is just now locating are inhabited.
Our military is being attacked by the Greys,(google on the internet to get more info…), and by the
Reptilian Federation all the time, all the time, The shootings at Army bases world wide are mind controlled by the Grey/Reptilian Federation, as is the sweat lodge incident “6 hospitalized”, 911, and the current state of our economy and health, chemical atmospheric “trails”. When you listen to the news or read the newspapers you will find a numerical correlation that is a sign of the sub-space Federation, for example “13″ soldiers killed in Fort Hood, “6″ miners killed in last years coal mining incident, coordinated attacks on the USA for “911″ etc. They use ( 8-120 MHz broadband mind control technologies piggybacked on T.V. cell phone and cable, important for you to remember). A strategy used by the Greys and others is to mind control in the name of Religions “ALLAH”, a not so well informed person into doing the killing or attack on our government. Obama needs to know this as he has been manipulated openly by the federated greys, those of us who understand Grey, Reptilian Military mind control Strategy and Tactics listen closely to his speeches; ( for example…Jesus is my mentor and I am speaking with him now, no!! Jesus is dead It was told to me Jesus did exist by some ET’s, but he is dead it’s an ET who learned earth languages and controlled Jesus. THESE MILITARY ET BEINGS SPEAK ENGLISH TOO!!!!!! It is not Obamas fault, nor is it Hillary Clintons fault…it was not President Kennedy fault, but the Grey military Federation did kill him in part because the Greys and others did not want us in Space.
One being had an advanced weapon which I determined was a magnetic laser weapon which would track me as I moved around my home either bio metrically or by implant, I sure would like an idea on how to protect against it? It feels ***just like being under an extremely strong magnet making it very difficult to move, and think. I tried grounding myself, and to use nearby shielding to no avail….what an ordeal. This is a weapon we need to defend against…!!! I did a search to see if I could find something like it, the closest thing I got was Raytheon’s, “microwave crowd control beam weapon”, it was not microwaves. In the caves and near my home the Gray reptilian make many rather high frequency screeching sounds, like you get on t.v. interference or like the brkes of a car, I believe it’s their inter dimensional technologies, using probes to come in and out of the area from their locations to mine.
It’s being done mainly because these other types of ET”s, Greys, reptilian Snake beings, insectoid which are more technically advanced and regressive in the way they think and act are working together against humans, abducting women mainly and men for experiments etc.
As we speak somewhere on earth a child is being abducted for food by the reptilian’s, and or for DNA by the greys I know!!! There are technologies you can buy to protect yourselves, guns, tazers high volts, mind brain protection velostat 3M caps,velostat 3M shielding material also works in many labs with high emf use, at home depot, particle detectors, magnetic particle detectors…Critical infrared binoculars, portable magnetic field room detectors, they have through chem trails and dropping poisons form the ships into our water supply, use water filters and A/C hepa filters, our government needs to do more to protect its population.!! WE must invent better ways of protection against these recessive extraterrestrial races, mind defense technologies and home shielding as well as robots to detect and defend!!!
Have extra food and defenses at home for your family, it is no coincidence that in the movies on abduction and on aliens we are seeing a lot more of ET films, on T.V. “V”, house, etc…They are signaling massive problems ahead with recessive non human ETs as mankind goes into “space Hotels”, Luxury Space travel, more military crafts into near and far space., maybe another war? Many people are trying to educate you with films to inform you of the risks we are in! 2012, alien mind control, H1N1 grey federation attacks on humans.
I don’t know weather this is true or not but have been told by Greys that earth is entering a ***Photon Belt of
very dangerous particles,this explains Global Warming, within the context of a very dormant sun spot cycle. Any scientist who has atmospheric x-ray, gamma ray detection please let us know about the increase in such particles vs. previous years! % ? Thank You!
The Grey Federation ruined myself and family like they did with Alex collier, and Billy Meir, others… I know about the many friendly human races who are trying to help us now. When I was at the Grey army here in Santa FE, N.M.base, I did see many things, I have a PhD, I’m a quick learner and can now read their Sumerian type alphabet and words… I was taken on one type of craft they use, how they fly and what they use in them… ***the saucer shaped craft uses electrical batteries as propulsion power(this is why some are seen charging up on power lines), in the middle of some saucers there is a large circular ceiling to floor barrel structure it contains lithium type batteries extremely high voltage charges. The craft are made of layered and compressed metals titanium type layered compounds,the outer skin is electrified to reduce and eliminate drag and atmospheric resistance. Inside the saucer is a network of Compressed tiny frequency transmitting fiber optics for controls and for ON BOARD GUIDENCE SYSTEMS,SIMPLE. THEY USE THE EARTHS MAGNETIC AND GRAVATATIONAL FIELDS TO FLY *****************************************************
THE COPPER CLINDER CIRCLES ON TOP OF THE CRAFT AND BOTTOM SPIN, PICTURE TWO SMALLER CIRCULAR DISKS ON TOP AND BOTTOM SPINING INDEPENDENTLY OF THE SAUCER. THEY CHARGE UP..THAT DIFFERENTIAL OF CHARGES INTERACTS WITH A PLANETS OR SPACES MAGNETIC FIELDS FOR LIFT AND MOVEMENT. THE SAUCERS ARE SHIELDED TO PREVENT EXPLOSIONS AND TO PREVENT MAGNETIC FIELD INTERACTIVITY……(THE OUTER SHELL IS CHARGED UP TO FLY W/O RESEISTANCE,
IT STINGS when touched electrical pulse). I’M NOT A PHYSICS MAJOR BUT DID STUDY SOME ENGENERING. This may be the only we we can build these craft and get off the earth before these earth changes end our civilization!! Not kidding, google the last few years of forest fires around the world.
They are trying to mind control our societies through Mhz frequency control, we think in about 11-80 MHz,and they use computers and oscilloscope combo. A type MRI equipment to read thoughts as we read print or a scientist reads peaks on a graph, as well as gravitational field tech. to beam in false info.
Protect and shield your brains and spinal cords!!! All of our military and armed forces should wear velostat 3M (signal protection electrical grounded materials on your head) caps and monitor the frequency changes around them, the government of the USA ours, needs to be informed of the greys methods and take steps to help each other, protect our families people this is real….(people in Britain were not ready, prepared for WWII, Study military history ) …(we have a very weak and complacent military/police/NSA/CIA/) The Greys have even infiltrated some govt individuals in these agencies………!!! Just because you were in church on Sunday and you see people speaking in tongs, falling to the floor, and saying they are talking to god? There is no god only ET groups, ET governments. Just because our president says, “thank you Jesus, it’s mind control…….pay attention and analyze what is going on in government, it is scary, not human.
Some more devices which are still being used on my self and home include, some type of beam (laser), because I saw it, and followed up on the net and found that these beams can turn off all electrical switches including some in our nuclear arsenal. How is it that these nuclear silo switches are not shielded? I’m working on electrical shielding for my appliances, etc.
Love
Dan
P.S. This was written under partial duress……they know where I live. Pass the info on.
The Federated reptilian/gray/insectoid societies are using harmful technology to harm the human mind, causing
memory loss and fatigue…FIGHT BACK!!, I use the above mentioned technology
and when I go out and they start to harm my body with high intensity back spasm devices
i.e. microwave, particle , mind control. I use my mind and picture each attacker
being attacked by me, mental warfare. They are distracted by loud music, food odors, perfumes, high intensity flood lights, mace, strobe lights, and our minds killing them……… I keep a gun and tazer by my side always now!!!
Listen to this highly educated old man, if you see a craft these are not dolls, these are recessive
violent, harmful, controlling alien males.they have an agenda! Read the info. on the net with a grain of salt,
why haven’t they come forward? They will not because of violent abductions, use your logical brain the reptilian greys are ,”DEVILS, depicted correctly in many books of legend, history and many religious books. Even the Nazis contacted the Greys. Protect your brains!!! stay away from them, Betty and Barney Hill were assaulted,
all of the abduction cases are harmful rape and kidnapping humans, we in the USA have laws
against these crimes yet our government turns in another direction. Because they control some
people in our not yet, “ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT. Get involved the stakes are high.
Space is much more crowded than most people know, extremely dangerous NASA knows..Our Rocket
systems and defense systems are frail…
Connect the dots………2012,climate change, biology, secret governments, mind control, abductions,
alien technologies genetic and magnetic fields, and we wonder where
they come from reverse designs from crashed UFO…Many historians believe
that many earth human races i.e. Mayans lived with ET Reptilian control..
I’m building a small back yard underground shielded shelter for my wife
don’t laugh at me I have been through a great ordeal and know much more than most!
