Both Our Leader and Deputy Leader celebrated Soldier Day by giving separate speeches at military bases, today. I haven't seen the transcripts yet, but I suspect that they thanked the soldiers for sacrificing their body armor for the Glorious War to Lower Paris Hilton's Taxes.
Deputy Leader Dick made a sacrifice as well when he scheduled his speech to occur at the height of today's blasphemous Fitzmas celebration, thus missing out on the delicious desert of crow.
