Markos gets Tancredo to storm off MSNBC set

You see, while former congressman Tom Tancredo (R-CO) has "talked to vets" about their health care, he may not have realized that Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitas actually is a veteran. A fact that Markos pointed out to Tancredo while reminding Tancredo that he had sought and received a deferment for the Vietnam War even though he was a supporter of the war at the time.

Veterans Day

In Flanders Fields


While Veterans Day started out as Armistice Day, it has been expanded to commemorate the courage and sacrifice of all veterans.

On this day when we honor veterans for their service to our country, I can think of nothing more fitting than to link to this Daily Kos diary which lists many worthy groups which assist veterans. Please check it out.

And, a personal thanks to Marty and Ken and all the other veterans I know.
