Veterans Day

In case you missed yesterday today is the observance of Veterans Day, the American version of Armistice Day, it is a day in which we honor all those who have served in the military. If you know anyone who have served go and thank them for their service and remember that their families also deserve some of this thanks as well since no one serves alone. Sure this day gets lost in calendar and that is a shame if we as a nation could do something about that it would be wonderful. However I have little faith that members of Congress would do anything to make this a big day, it is nice that the NFL and other sporting leagues get behind this and take some time to honor the military. If one of the Air Force/Army or Navy football games took place on this day perhaps the general American public would make a bigger deal about it except for those wonderful mattress sales. Or even make it  a day to reflect on how we can achieve peace as it was originally celebrated, or even create a Remembrance Day on the Sunday nearest the 11th like our neighbors in the Commonwealth. Sure we do this back in May with Memorial Day where Summer unofficially kicks off,  but why not have a second day to honor them.
