Today is a semi-posting-holiday on NRO. Do read David French and Jim Robbins on Vets Day. Read Lowry and Charen and Sowell. And look for reports in now and again from Puerto Rico today, in addition to check-ins from the homeoffice where some actually do remain.

Thank you to all our men and women in uniform — some who are on this cruise — at least one only on leave from Iraq, celebrating his wedding anniversary. Thank you for making everything we are able to do possible.
