Obama surprises dozens of veterans after their plane arrives in Washington for Veterans Day

Washington — It's a Veterans Day they won't soon forget.

On a balmy 70-degree day in the nation's capital this past weekend, former President Barack Obama boarded an Honor Flight filled with veterans of the Korean and Vietnam wars that had just touched down from Madison, Wisconsin.

"Hello, everybody," his voiced boomed over the loud speaker.

"What!" exclaimed one person. Another veteran gasped, his mouth wide open.

"I just wanted to say thank you," the former president continued in a moment captured on video.

Seventy-nine veterans and their families made the trip.



Obama shook hands with them as they exited the aircraft and presented them with a Presidential Challenge Coin, a token to express his personal gratitude for their sacrifices.

"Ahead of Veterans Day, I was honored to welcome a flight of veterans and their families as they arrived in D.C.," Obama said in a statement.  "To all those who bravely served our country, thank you to you and your family for your extraordinary service. The sacrifices that all of you made to protect our country will be honored, today and every day."

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Even Obama supporters and Democrats are not buying this stunt. Ordinarily, Democrats would be furious at Obama for supporting America and especially American Veterans. The silence of the Communist Left is because they do not believe it was what Obama really believes. If Obama gave me a Presidential coin, I would toss it in the trash.

Maybe he is planning another run in 2028? Something is going on ...

You may find 'nobility' in a savage. But never forget that his first instinct is to kill you.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

Of course he is not eligible to run, but Big Mike can and she would merely be a figurehead and he would actually be leading.

Presidential challenge coin, eh? Is that to recognize what a challenge it was to serve under his administration ?
