A couple days before this writing B-52s, Abraham Lincoln carrier group and an F-15 Squadron were quietly scrambled to the Mideast. This is in response to aggressive Iranian actions. These packages of ships and planes have been a prelude of war the last forty years.
If a few seconds can be set aside for our military deployed also include those veterans from years past. Especially those that are dealing with personal demons and health issues.

Happy Veterans Day.
