Today is Veteran's Day in the United States.
We celebrate those who have served.

Veteran's Day is November 11. Why this particular day? Because World War I - the war to end all wars (we should've been so lucky!) - officially ended on November 11, at 11:00PM: 11-11 at 11pm.

A beautiful Homage Pat! A Happy Veterans Day to all those brave men and women who served.
Thank you for this post Pat.
Wearing a poppy for a few days each year. Perhaps attending a service. So little compared to what our veterans go through.
We really need to be thankful for their service.
Also, men in uniform? Yum.
