Thanks Valin. I remember learning that Nov 11th was Armistice Day. I guess it took a while for Veterans Day to "catch on". I wonder how many kids today know the original meaning?

They're taught so little of this kind of thing today odds are they don't.

Or the current meaning. A young guy in my office this morning asked "Today is veterans day?"
