The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month

Some of us are old enough to remember that today use to be observed as Armistice Day.

I was only 2 but 5-6 years later the change was still new enough that I understood what the change was and why it happened.

99% of us who served didn't do so to boast about it or add it to our resume. It was, for right or wrong, our duty. Following the orders of the leaders of our Nation to protect and defend our Constitution.

Some gave all. All gave some.

Remember that.

A couple of great organizations if you want to do more then pay lip service to those who served are :

An hour of your time. An hour of your pay. If you can. As you can.
