Well, Veterans day in 8 minutes for me. Anyways, take the time to remember what they did and are doing for us. I am forever grateful to those who have served, or who are serving.
Also, on a side note, the 10th is The Marines Corps birthday. Don't ask me how old they are, I don't know. :>

We also have a remeberance day only in Australia we call it something different. (I cant spell the word so I am not going to write it).
I personally am greatful to all the men and boys thatgave their lives to allow me to live the way I do today.
I hope everyone else had a good day for remeberance day also an that they took at least 60 seconds out of their time to just remeber what those GREAT people did for us.

Yes. Remembrance Day, well at this time in the morning, that was yesterday. Tis' a shame now that a lot of the veterans are dying off and the World Wars are leaving recent memory and are entering.. history. Plus, there are all the brave men and women on peace keeping missions and in Afghanistan. Well, I guess thats why theres Remembrance Day.

I'd like to quote Shakespeare, it humbles on such an occasion,
Saint Crispin's Day Speech
from Henry V by William Shakespeare
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This day is called the feast of Crispian:
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian:'
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars.
And say 'These wounds I had on Crispin's day.'
Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember with advantages
What feats he did that day: then shall our names.
Familiar in his mouth as household words
Harry the king, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,
Be in their flowing cups freshly remember'd.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember'd;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
