crelf Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 November 11th is not only US Veterans Day, but also the anniversary of Armistice Day, so I extend the good thoughts further than just the USA forces. Chris (RAAF 1SQN 21FLT) Quote Link to comment

So you mean US only or all WW1 veterans? This wikipedia article suggests otherwise. Quote Link to comment

Cat Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 November 11th is not only US Veterans Day, but also the anniversary of Armistice Day I was in England last year during Armistice Day and was overwhelmed at how big of a celebration it is there. After going almost a couple hundred years without having our mainland attacked by a foreign country, I think that sometimes some of us USAmericans can be a bit too complacent about our (supposed) invincibility and therefore less appreciative than we should be of the men and women who willingly put themselves into harm's way for us. It was very refreshing to see that isn't true everywhere. Anyway, (belated) thanks to all of you who have served, in whatever capacity. Cat 1 Quote Link to comment
