Perhaps this Memorial Day President Obama should think about why we owe Europe and the world an apology.

This is just Europe. A total of 104,366 dead American soldiers. It doesn't include those buried in the Pacific.

And we have to watch an American elected leader who apologizes to Europe and the Middle East that our country is "arrogant"!

How many French, Dutch, Italians, Belgians and Brits are buried on our soil, defending us against our enemies?

We don't ask for praise, but we have no reason to apologize.

Hopefully, Americans remember this in November 2012 and 2014.
