TRUMP HONORS AMERICA’S VETERANS WITH WREATH-LAYING AT ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY [ARTICLE]
President Donald Trump honored America’s veterans on Wednesday in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.
Trump, accompanied by Vice President JD Vance, Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins, and U.S. Major General Antoinette Gant, saluted as the National Anthem played before laying the wreath.
“On Veterans Day, we reaffirm our undying gratitude to every patriot who has answered the call of duty,” Trump said. “We pay tribute to all of those who have won the wars and worn the uniform, who faced the enemy, who have beaten the enemy at every turn, who have borne the burdens of fate and destiny to stand as our protection in battle.”
Trump recognized veterans from several wars, including a 103-year-old World War II veteran, Cpl. Jack Myers, and a Vietnam veteran, U.S. Army Col. Douglas Moore, both of whom were in attendance.

SENIOR U.S. ARMY SOLDIER ARRESTED IN U.K. ON SUSPICION OF ASSISTING RUSSIAN INTELLIGENCE [ARTICLE]
The 41-year-old man was arrested “as part of an investigation by Counter Terrorism Policing” near the city of Gloucester, in the west of England, British police said.
A senior U.S. Army soldier was arrested in the U.K. on suspicion of assisting Russian intelligence, British police said Tuesday.
The 41-year-old man was arrested “as part of an investigation by Counter Terrorism Policing” near the city of Gloucester, in the west of England, London’s Metropolitan Police said in a statement, adding that he remained in custody at a police station in London.
He was arrested on suspicion of offenses under sections 1 and 3 of the National Security Act, the statement said. They relate to obtaining or disclosing protected information and assisting a foreign intelligence service.
“The country to which the allegations relate is Russia,” the statement added.
Three people familiar with the matter told NBC News that the soldier was based at NATO’s Allied Rapid Reaction Corps headquarters at Imjin Barracks on the outskirts of Gloucester. A senior NATO military official also confirmed the location of the soldier’s assignment.
FBI Director Kash Patel was quoted in the statement as saying that the arrest was “important” and that it “involves allegations of espionage, which is of the utmost concern to the United States and our allies.”

IMPORTANT READ: WHAT CDL JOSEPH ZEN HAS TO SAY ON THE SYNOD ON SYNODALITY [BLOG POST]
So let us put a stop to this so-called “Synod on Synodality”!
Today is the feast day of St. Charles Borromeo. He was a great Archbishop of Milan, the largest diocese in Italy.
The Council of Trent, which had to resolve many problems, had taken place at that time. The Protestant Reformation contained heresies and denied the sacraments—rejecting the Eucharist and the true priesthood, and the council served as a Counter-Reformation.
However, there were also internal issues within the Church that required a thorough reform. The powers of the nobility had weakened the Church, and the formation of the clergy had been greatly neglected. …

POPE LEO XIV RETURNS TO PERU: ‘MUCH OF MY OWN STORY BELONGS TO YOU’ [ARTICLE]
On his first night back in Peru, his adopted homeland, Pope Leo XIV told the countryʼs leaders that his return has “a very special meaning” and urged them to open paths for young people.
Pope Leo XIV arrived in Peru on Wednesday, Nov. 11, in a spectacular homecoming that drew an estimated 3 million people to the streets to greet him.
Leo, a U.S. citizen but also a naturalized citizen of the country where he served as a missionary and bishop for about 20 years before becoming pope, met privately with President Keiko Fujimori, then addressed her and other dignitaries about Peru’s current state and prospects.
“For decades, I shared in the lives of its people, listened to their concerns, and learned from their faith,” the pope said, drawing laughter when he noted that he also ate ceviche, a traditional Peruvian dish based on raw fish.
“Today I understand how much of this land remains with me and how much of my own story also belongs to you.”
