Veteran's Day
Today we remember those that fought for our right to be Americans. Some have died, others wounded in both body and spirit.
They did this for you, and your freedom, to protect the life that we all enjoy.
We offer our profound thanks to all that have served our country. In wars of the pasts, and in the current struggle against all that want to destroy us. We salute your efforts, your sacrifices, and your courage.

You know it Bob! My father was in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. He is 80 years old now.
We in Britain have a two minute silence on the 11 hour of the 11 day of the 11 month in remeberence of those that died in both world wars it still amazes me to see vets of the First World War wheeled out to take the salute. Least we forget the futility of war.
Thank you all for your comments, DL my father also served in all those wars. And thank you prydwen, for reminding us that our remembrance is part of a larger international one.
