On Veterans Day, November 11th, and Every Day, Americans Thank Veterans For Their Service in Defense of the Republic
By Capt Joseph R. John, November 11, 2024 Op-Ed # 700
On November 11th, Veterans Day, and every day, Americans are appreciative of Veterans for their service as members of the US Armed Forces and served in the defense of the Republic. On this day we “Honor” all Military Veterans, especially those personnel who gave their last full measure of devotion in the defense of the Republic and were lost in combat.
Thousands of Veterans are still suffering from the negative effects of their service-connected health related injuries, because of their service in the defense of the Republic. Many of those Veterans had been suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or from a disabling wound received in combat on foreign fields of fire. Veterans who may not have been able to obtain timely or adequate medical treatment or therapy to relieve the pain from their debilitating wounds, or are suffering from PTSD, eventually may succumb from their wounds, or commit suicide. An average of 20 Veterans commit suicide each day.
The overwhelming majority of 20 million Veterans in the United States are good industrious citizens, who quietly go about their normal lives, support their families financially, provide the careful and loving guidance to properly raise their children, and are still ready to serve if called upon to defend the Republic. Veterans continue to serve their country in Law Enforcement, as First Responders, as Firefighters, executives in corporations, farmers, ranchers, in government service, as members of the clergy, in real estate development, in medical fields, as computer technicians, physicians, lawyers, in scientific research, in education, as military reservists, as airline pilots, members of Congress, in city/county/state elective or appointive offices, as union workers, as volunteers, in Veterans organizations, and in many other civilian endeavors.
By clicking on the below listed link, you will be able to listen to an inspiring musical message from Trace Adkins, “Still A Soldier”, he is referring to the millions of hard-working Honorable Veterans, who quietly go about in their normal lives, support their families, and enjoy the “Freedoms” they fought to defend. They are enjoying the benefits and opportunity of working in the Free Enterprise System in the United States.
If needed, SPC Bryan Gerwitz, USA, in the video, would be on the next plane, ready to serve in the defense of the Republic again, along with so many other Honorable Veterans. God Bless them all, for their dedicated service and for their courage! They always stand for the National Anthem.
Every Veteran, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America” for an amount “up to and including their life.” If you know or recognize a Veteran who served in the defense of the Republic, and you have an opportunity to communicate with that Veteran, we encourage you to show your appreciation for his or her service, by thanking him or her for defending of the Republic.

On the US Marine Corps 249th Birthday, We Honor Col Mitchell Paige, USMC And All Marines Passed and Present
By Capt Joseph R. John, November 10, 2024 Op Ed # 699
On November 10, 2024, U.S. Marines around the globe will celebrate 249 years of success on the battlefield and reaffirm their commitment to their Corps' proud legacy of honor, courage, and commitment. This year we will share a video that discusses many interesting historic incidents in the corps—the language is typically rough.
On this special day, we pay homage to a Marine’s Marine who, 82 years ago on October 26, 1942, performed in action above and beyond the call of duty. On Nov. 15, 2003, that 85-year-old retired Marine Corps Colonel died of congestive heart failure at his home in La Quinta, California, southeast of Palm Springs. He was buried with full military honors in the Riverside National Cemetery, Riverside, California. He was a Combat Veteran of World War II. Reason enough to honor him. But this Marine was a little different, this Marine was then Platoon Sgt Mitchell Paige, USMC.
It's hard today to envision -- or, for the dwindling few, to remember-- what the world looked like on October 26, 1942. The U.S. Navy was not the most powerful fighting force in the Pacific. Not by a long shot. So the Navy basically dumped a few thousand lonely American Marines on the beach at Guadalcanal and high-tailed it out of there. US Admirals Nimitz, Fletcher and Halsey had to ration what few ships they had.
On Guadalcanal the Marines struggled to complete an airfield. Japanese Navy Admiral Yamamoto knew what that meant. No effort would be spared to dislodge these upstart Yanks from a position that could endanger his ships. Before long, relentless Japanese counterattacks had driven supporting U.S. Navy from inshore waters. The Marines were on their own. As Platoon Sgt. Mitchell Paige and his 33 riflemen set about carefully emplacing their four water-cooled .30-caliber Browning's, manning their section of the thin khaki line which was expected to defend Henderson Field against the assault of the night of October 25, 1942, it's unlikely anyone thought they were about to provide the definitive answer to that most desperate of questions: How many able-bodied U.S. Marines does it take to hold a hill against 2,000 desperate and motivated Japanese attackers?
Nor did the commanders of the mighty Japanese Army, who had swept all before them for decades, expect their advance to be halted on some jungle ridge manned by one thin line of Yanks in khaki in October of 1942. But by the time the night was over, the Japanese 29th Infantry Regiment had lost 553 killed or missing and 479 wounded among its 2,554 men, historian Lippman reports. The Japanese 16th Regiment's losses are uncounted, but the [US] 164th's burial parties handled 975 Japanese bodies. ... The American estimate of 2,200 Japanese dead is probably too low.
You've already figured out where the Japanese focused their attack, haven't you? Among the 90 American dead and seriously wounded that night were all the men in Mitchell Paige's platoon; everyone. As the night of endless attacks wore on, Paige moved up and down his line, pulling his dead and wounded comrades back into their foxholes and firing a few bursts from each of the four Browning's in turn, convincing the Japanese forces down the hill that the positions were still manned. The citation for Paige's Congressional Medal of Honor picks up the tale: “When the enemy broke through the line directly in front of his position, P/Sgt. Paige, commanding a machine gun section with fearless determination, continued to direct the fire of his gunners until all his men were either killed or wounded. Alone, against the deadly hail of Japanese shells, he fought with his gun and when it was destroyed, took over another, moving from gun to gun, never ceasing his withering fire."

President Donald J. Trump #45, Was Re-Elected As the 47th President of The United States
By Capt Joseph R. John, November 8, 2024 Op-Ed # 698
On November 5, 2024, American Citizens cast over 75+ million votes to elect President Donald J. Trump, to “Take Back Our Country”, to protect the “Freedom of Speech” for all American Citizens, and to restore the “Combat Effectiveness” of the US Armed Forces. President Trump’s election prevented the US Constitutional Republic from being “Fundamentally transformed into a Communist State.” It was the most successful “Presidential Comeback” in US History!
After 2 years of effort, we were able to contribute to the re-election of President Donald J. Trump as the 47th President of the United States and helped to elect an endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress, Senator J.D. Vance (USMC), as Vice President of the United States. The election of President Trump has prevented the US Constitutional Republic from being “Fundamentally transformed into a Communist State.”
In 2022, the goal of the Combat Veterans For Congress was to elect 19 endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress to the US House of Representatives, to help take control of the US House.
In 2024, one of the goals of the Combat Veterans For Congress was to elect 3 endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress to the US Senate, to help take control of the US Senate. Another goal in 2024, was to elect 13 endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress to the US House of Representatives to help retain control of the US House. The Endorsement page of our Website lists the endorsed and elected Combat Veterans For Congress to the Vice Presidency, to the US Senate, and to the US House of Representatives.
President Trump will protect every American Citizen by putting a stop to the continuing Invasion of the United States by over 20 million Illegal Aliens from 180 countries, and by putting a stop to the attacks by the Biden-Harris administration on the sacred beliefs of Christian Americans. President Trump will “Make America Great Again,” by bringing down the rampant 21% inflation created by the Biden-Harris administration and will stimulate the economy of the United States by drilling for the plentiful US crude oil to bring down the cost of gas at the pump.
We thank the hundreds of supporters for sending $23,490 in donations to support the election of endorsed Combat Veterans For Congress, for the many letters of encouragement, the many heartfelt E-mails, and the steady stream of phone calls to thank us for our efforts to help create the Red, White, and Blue Wave to “Take Back Our Country.” We encourage you to click on the below listed link to listen to the Patriotic Country Western rendition of “Take Back Our Country”
We encourage all Patriotic American Citizens to work together, to put divisive issues behind us, and to collaborate with your fellow Americans on both sides of the aisle, so we can help restore our US Constitutional Republic to its 248 historic years of greatness. This summer all Patriotic Americans will again be observing Independence Day, on the 4th of July (a second birthday for all Patriotic Americans), to celebrate their continued support for our US Constitutional Republic.

Op Ed # 697 FEC Filing Last Week: The Harris Campaign Dished Out Six-Figure Donations To Groups Who Still Support Defunding Police!
By Capt Joseph R. John, November 4, 2024
The Harris campaign cut multiple six-figure checks last month for left-leaning groups that have been vocal about DEFUNDING POLICE and FUNDING REPARATIONS; they are tied to Radical Black Anti-White activists supporting the notorious antisemite, “Louis Farrakhan”, the leader of the Nation of Islam.
Kamala Harris’ social media profiles are littered with social media posts showing her attending Nation of Islam events and “praising” Farrakhan.
The Harris Marxist Presidential Campaign gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to a handful of Radical Black Anti-White advocacy groups who are mobilizing Black voters ahead of the November 5th election, according to required Federal Election Campaign (FEC) filings, released last week.
Latosha Brown, who has been a “frequent visitor” to the Biden-Harris White House, and for over 30 years, she has repeatedly posted that her group demands REPARATIONS, and in a 2021 she posted on “X”, that she has been working on demanding “REPARATIONS” for 27 years. Latosha Brown previously stated, "We deserve to be compensated for the literal blood, sweat, and tears our ancestors were forced to put into this country." Kamala Harris previously told The Root during her failed 2019 presidential campaign, that she believes "there has to be some form of REPARATIONS" for Black Americans.

Will American Citizens Have An Honest Choice In 2024, Or Will The Planned Massive Voter Fraud Eliminate Their Sacred Right to An Honest Vote?
By Capt Joseph R. John, October 28 2024 Op Ed # 696
By clicking on the below listed link, you will be able to see a video that explains the Massive Voter Fraud perpetrated year after year in national elections by Socialist Democrats, identified as “The Big Steal”; it is their plan to consistently cheat and steal elections, corrupting the “Sacred Right” of American Citizens to vote unimpeded in an honest national election.
https://x.com/brycemlipscomb/s....tatus/18499704549639
With early voting underway in 2024, there have already has been hundreds of reports of Barack Hussein Obama’s “Planned Massive Voter Fraud” underway nationally:
1) Long before election day, for nearly a year, Socialist Democrats have had the same fraudulent “ballot mills” in full operation in the 8 Battleground States that they had in 2020. They have been registering 3.6 million Illegal Aliens voters, who had been brazenly registered to vote at border processing stations by dozens of NGO’s funded by the Biden Administration.
2) In Wisconsin, 31,000 mail-in ballots have been sent and harvested using illegal addresses such as gas stations and warehouses.
3) In Pennsylvania, mail-in ballots have been sent to tens of thousands of “voters” on the voter rolls who were dead, moved out of state or had addresses, such as gas stations, warehouses, etc.
