Second That

 

Here in the US, too...

 

I didn't realize that you guys on that side of the pond honored Veteran's Day on the same day we do.

 

We don't call it Vets day Freddy, we don't get a day off either (maybe you don't for this one, I forget) but we have always honored those that paid the ultimate sacrifice so that we might be here today, with a 2 minute silence and a number of parades/celebrations around the country

 

It's considered a "minor" national holiday here so most of us don't get the day off. The Postal Service does however, so no mail until Tuesday.

 

In memory of all who served, and gave their live for us. Past and to this day.

 

Amen to that. I make a habit of stoping whoever I see in uniform these days and thank them for dedication and my freedom. Most time they are surprised, but you can tell they appriceate it. This makes me sad because it means enough people are not doing it.

 

Thanks, you guys... I am always grateful for the love I am shown every Veterans Day.

My thanks, love, and prayers to all of my brothers and sisters who serve.

 

Well in that case Lemme first thank our very own BosonMichael for your service, hard work and dedication.

We here in Guyana celebrate it as "Rememberance Day" and most people wear lapels in the form of the Poppy flower (pictured at top) the week leading up to Rememberance Day. We also have Parades and ceremonies in rememberance of the event. Political leaders, military people and families of those who lost their loved ones in war, come and lay wreaths at the memorial monument.
