Welcome back in for Al’s Afternoon Tea this Veteran’s Day 2024.
Al Perrotta is The Stream’s Washington bureau chief, coauthor with John Zmirak of The Politically Incorrect Guide to Immigration, and coauthor of the counterterrorism memoir Hostile Intent: Protecting Yourself Against Terrorism.
Once again, a huge and hearty thanks to all who have served. This includes VP-elect J.D. Vance, who amazingly enough, according to military.com, appears to be the first Marine Corp vet to win on a presidential ticket. Semper Fi.
