“Nearly all of the nation’s top military leaders unequivocally condemned racism in public messages Wednesday, posing a stark and unusual contrast to President Donald Trump’s remarks that both white supremacists and counterprotesters were equally to blame for the violent clashes in Charlottesville, Va., over the weekend.

President-elect Trump was asked by reporters to provide details of his plan for veterans' health care, and he and his senior advisors provided nothing, which means that the next commander in chief lied to veterans thousands of times on the campaign trail when he promised that he would fix health care for our veterans.

Today is Armed Forces Day — a national day to celebrate members of our military for their service to our country.

When President Harry Truman designated this day a holiday in 1951, he requested that his fellow citizens “display the flag of the United States … and by fitting exercises to demonstrate their recognition of the gallantry, sacrifice, and devotion to duty of the men and women of the armed forces.”
