We take today to thank our veterans, past and present, for their service to our country. Memorial day is to remember the fallen as I believe today is called Remembrance Day today in Canada for that reason. So, thank you to all veterans!
Veterans Day in the US is observed to commemorate the armistice reached on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11 month to cease hostilities in WW I. It was called the War to End All Wars. Which unfortunately did not come to pass.
Once again, weeds are my life!

It was also Remembrance Day in UK for the same reason, then repeated the following Sunday (tomorrow) with fuller ceremony: "we will remember them."
