At 11 AM. For almost 19 years. But it wasn't over. Not even hardly.
Today is Veterans Day. It was Armistice Day until 1954. Congress changed the name to honor living veterans. The dead already had their own day. In '54, with World War 1 having ended 36 years before, World War 2 ended 9 years before, and a year after the Korean Armistice, there were a lot of veterans around.
It would be nice if we could figure out a way to stop making them.
Thank a veteran. In this world, we need brave men and women to do the needful in harsh places.
