Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) is a disgusting, wretched scumbag:

I guess my brother Tommy, a cavalry officer and Notre Dame graduate, really should have stayed in school. Maybe he could have made something of himself.

To date, well over a million American soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines have died in this nation’s wars, from Valley Forge to Fallujah.

To those men and women and their families, thank you for your sacrifice. As we celebrate Memorial Day, may we rededicate ourselves to honor your memories, pray for your souls and carry on your mission.

Thanks to ubertipster Byron for passing this one along. This is an email from Tom Stallings of the Houston Aeros:

We have our veteran’s day celebration [tonight] and are hosting any active duty or reserve serviceman at our game [tonight] thanks to season ticket holder and sponsor donations. We currently have filled all requests for tickets that we know of, but have additional season ticket holders wishing to contribute. Do you know any current or distinguished retired service members who would like to attend the game [tonight] at no charge? We will be saluting veterans throughout the game.

If you know of any vet who deserves to see a free hockey game, drop Tom a line at tstallings@aeros.com.

If you’ve got the day off, why not head downtown? Sure, you’ll have to dodge panhandlers and MetroRail killing machines, but you’ll also get a chance to honor Houston-area veterans:

On Friday, November 11, 2005, Mayor Bill White and the City of Houston will show support of the Armed Forces as we celebrate the 7th Annual Houston Salutes American Heroes Veteran’s Day Commemoration and Parade. We anticipate that thousands of members of the Houston-area military and veterans organizations will participate in the event to honor those who served our country. Commemoration at 10 a.m. in front of City Hall, parade at 11:30 a.m.

The parade will start at the corner of Smith and Texas. The Chron has a map.

In honor of Veteran’s Day, allow me to quote from one of the great moments in American cinematic history:

We’re all very different people. We’re not Watusi. We’re not Spartans. We’re Americans! With a capital A, huh?

There’s something wrong with us, something very, very wrong with us. Something seriously wrong with us. We’re soldiers!

But we’re American soldiers! We’ve been kicking ass for 200 years! We’re 10 and 1!

There are a lot of things I like about writing for LST. But my favorite thing is this: I don’t have to write it in Spanish, German, Japanese, Russian or Arabic. Thanks, vets, from all of us at Mattsapundit.

Happy Veterans Day!
