SEOUL, South Korea — Celebrating America's Veterans Day

Last I heard Veterans Day is celebrated on the 11th here ET, CT, PT
and most veterans made it back home and still live in the USofA.


Most U.S. troops did make it back home but 37,000 of them died
defending South Korea. You will be amazed to learn that Korea is not
on ET, CT or PT and that includes the 28,00 U.S. troops serving there.

Perhaps it's not surprising that you and the blogger you quote have no
idea where your President is or the time at his location. MSNBC
classed the news as "Asia-Pacific" so maybe none of your local news
services bothered to report it.
