Posted by: thepinetree on 12/21/2018 08:03 PM
Washington, DC...One thing to always remember even when supporting our Military is that apart from being a necessary and vital component is that it is a big business. President Dwight Eisenhower reminded us of that in his farewell address that follows. "My fellow Americans: Three days from now, after half a century in the service of our country, I shall lay down the responsibilities of office as, in traditional and solemn ceremony, the authority of the Presidency is vested in my successor. This evening I come to you with a message of leave-taking and farewell, and to share a few final thoughts with you, my countrymen. Like every other citizen, I wish the new President, and all who will labor with him, Godspeed. I pray that the coming years will be blessed with peace and prosperity for all.
