Armistice Day

It was today, November 11, 1918 when World War I ended, called Armistice Day.  It was later adopted to be Veteran's Day in 1954.  Isn't that interesting?  I think we tend to forget what this day stands for and all the people who died to make this country what it is.  To make it possible for me to sleep-in in relative peace.  For a day-off for many/most.  Thank you, all you Veterans living and dead for giving me and my children and grandchildren freedom to enjoy this day and the rest.  Thank you for being so brave.  Thank you for caring so much.  Thank you to all the members of my family who took up the mantle to join the Armed Forces and face bravely whatever may or may not happen in the future.  Thank you to all those who are now on foreign soil facing hardships of loneliness and homesickness for us.  Thank you.  God bless you and bring you home soon.
