Yeah every year I have placed the war stories this time just a few hours early
One publisher told me from all my stories she like the war stories the best
I believe that this is because you get to read it through the eyes of a child, not a veteran this time.
Never heard this song before Mic..................Some of the faces are not much more than children crying

To all veterans,
Thank you for your service bouquet
Thank you, Ms. Cappy ... hug

Ms. Cappy's comment relative to Remembrance Day -

The U.S. established Memorial Day in May (the equivalent of Remembrance Day) following the U.S. Civil War (1861-65).

Following WWI, the U.S. recognized Nov. 11 as Armistice Day.
Following WWI (1954) the day's been recognized in the U.S. as Veterans Day - Honoring all Living veterans.

Hence Ms. Cappy's recognition of veterans.

Other Nov. 11 events ...

General George Patton was born this date in 1885 -
WWI hostilities ceased on his 33rd birthday.

Wife & I set it as our wedding day - Veterans Day precluded getting an officiant.
The date was reset to Nov. 18.
