So in the US you have Veterans Day then?

Here in the UK we celebrate (the right word?) Remembrance Day, and we all wear poppies because of the whole Flanders field thing where the only thing that grew after the battle were poppies.

Thanks foremost to my great grandfather who fought in the trenches in France and to the many great uncles/uncles I had who fought the Nazis in Europe/The Japanese in the Pacific and the Vietcong/NVA is Vietnam.

Thanks to everyone else who has ever served in the Armed Forces.

We appreciate

I personally salute our current crop of servicemen and -women, volunteers all, and their families who suffer with them and don't see them for years at a time. Thank you.
