How was everybodys veterans day? Good I hope, my Dad sat around and did squat. (Dad's a vet)
That's what the day is for right?
Same here.
Up here instead of veteran's Day we have Remembrance Day. I don't know if the Americans do but we wear poppies as it was originally a Canadian poet and soldier, John McCrae, who composed "In Flander's Fields". So we had the whole ceremony on Monday at school with a piper and a colour party and a laying of the wreaths. I was supposed to play The Last Post but I wheedled my way out of it because I have a problem with trumpet solos in front of crowds.
So then on Tuesday we observed a moment of silence at 11 am. But other than that Tuesday was a busy day for me.
Yeah Sev it's Rememberence Day over here in Australia too, we also have the poppies as a symbol of respect. We don't get a public holiday though. We only stop at the 11th hour of the 11 day for a minutes silence.
ANZAC Day however is a public holiday but it accounts for all Australian and New Zealand soldiers alive or deceased.
You know what gets me....Why did they wait til the 11th hour to stop the war?
