VETERANS DAY

I just want to say about Veterans Day that it is a holiday of celebration. We already have a day of commemoration, that's Memorial Day. Veterans Day started as Armistice Day, a celebration of the end of World War I. Today, it should be a celebration of appreciation for those who have served in peace andwar and lived to tell stories about it - even if they have since passed on. Many of the speeches I've heard today seemed more appropriate for Memorial Day - a more somber day, for sure.
