ON GUARD – AT 10:06 A.M. ET:  As America celebrates today, let us not forget those who are on guard for us all over the world.

And that must include the antiterrorism forces in the United States, who are unquestionably on special alert today.  Please recall that it was one year ago, on Christmas, that a jihadist tried to bring down an airliner over Detroit.  If the bomb had gone off, the day would have ended in tragedy.  Fortunately, he did not succeed.

We hope there is no repetition.
