It's on Sunday. But nonetheless, I also salute all those who served in the armed forces throughout US history.

So it is.... Weird that my calendar says today, I should know better. Oh well the sentiment remains the same.

But it's on the 11th. That's the designated date for it, has been for almost a 100 years. (It's in honor of the end of World War I, if you didn't know.)

Yeah I thought I knew that, apparently not though. It will teach me not to rely on my bloody calendar.

Edgar Guest, The Things That Make a Soldier
Great
"Endanger but that humble street whereon his
children run,
You make a soldier of the man who never
bore a gun.
What is it through the battle smoke the
valiant soldier sees?"

I hope today finds all of you well.

I reiterate my sentiments from last year. Respect and love to those who have served honorably.
