DONALD TRUMP REMAINS FOCUS OF IOWA GOP DEBATE IN ABSENTIA (HELPS FORGOTTEN VETS)

DONALD TRUMP REMAINS FOCUS OF IOWA GOP DEBATE IN ABSENTIA:

TRUMP USES HIS INFLUENCE TO HELP FORGOTTEN VETS.

DES MOINES REPRESENTS THE VOICE OF MIDDLE AMERICA.

Even after pulling out of the GOP Iowa Debate, 2016 presidential Frontrunner Donald Trump remains the focus of Thursday night's event.

Instead of participating in the 2016 Iowa GOP debate, Mr Trump will host another event to raise a ton of money to help our nation's Wounded VETS.

Since no one else seems to care about our nation's VETS, it's nice to see a busy Business Mogul such as Donald Trump choosing to use his influence to help VETS.

I support Mr Trump's decision not to attend the Iowa debate because his absence is helping to revise the Political process as it relates to electing a new president.

American voters are tired of Status Quo Politics which is controlled entirely by super Wealthy donors.

By refusing to play old Political games, Mr Trump is forcing both the Republican and Democrat parties to return the election process back into the hands everyday American voters as mandated by the U.S. Constitution (12th amendment; article 2).

For example:
Everyday hardworking people like the citizens of DES MOINES, Iowa.

Happy Veterans Day!

Veterans Day is an annual American holiday honoring military veterans. Both a federal holiday and a state holiday in all states, it is usually observed on November 11. However, if it occurs on a Sunday then the following Monday is designated for holiday leave, and if it occurs Saturday then either Saturday or Friday may be so designated.

It is also celebrated as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day in other parts of the world, falling on November 11, the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. (Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice.)


U.S. President Woodrow Wilson first proclaimed an Armistice Day for November 11, 1919. The United States Congress passed a concurrent resolution seven years later on June 4, 1926, requesting the President issue another proclamation to observe November 11 with appropriate ceremonies. An Act (52 Stat. 351; 5 U. S. Code, Sec. 87a) approved May 13, 1938, made the 11th of November in each year a legal holiday; "a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated and known as 'Armistice Day'."

In 1953, an Emporia, Kansas shoe store owner named Al King had the idea to expand Armistice Day to celebrate all veterans, not just those who served in World War I. King had been actively involved with the American War Dads during World War II. He began a campaign to turn Armistice Day into "All" Veterans Day. The Emporia Chamber of Commerce took up the cause after determining that 90% of Emporia merchants as well as the Board of Education supported closing their doors on November 11, 1953, to honor veterans. With the help of then-U.S. Rep. Ed Rees, also from Emporia, a bill for the holiday was pushed through Congress. President Dwight Eisenhower signed it into law on May 26, 1954.

Congress amended this act on November 8, 1954, replacing "Armistice" with Veterans, and it has been known as Veterans Day since.

Although originally scheduled for celebration on November 11 of every year, starting in 1971 in accordance with the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, Veterans Day was moved to the fourth Monday of October. In 1978 it was moved back to its original celebration on November 11. Since this change, there has been a trend against being closed on the holiday. It began with businesses (excluding banks) and in recent years some schools and local governments have also chosen to remain open.
