Subject: RE: BS: Armistice Day (please moderate)
In the states Nov. 11, Armistice day, is no longer celebrated and little acknowledged, but I still celebrate it both for its meaning and for personal reasons. We now have, instead, a Monday holiday (we need those long week-ends) to honor, all veterans. Some of our Vets have are given something less than honor the rest of the year, and some are just beginning to get honored after nearly forty years of being reviled by a vocal minority.
