To all who have served and are still serving, tks for your service. To those who have perished in defense of our great nation, tks. Without your service, there would be no nation. 
Veterans' Day Salute

In case any of you don't already know... Veterans Day was originally "Armistice Day," and has always been on Nov 11, because the armistice that ended WWI was signed on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. A congressional resolution recognized Armistice Day in 1926...it became a national holiday in 1938. In 1954 the name was changed to Veterans Day to honor the LIVING veterans (Memorial Day honors those who gave their lives) of all wars. It's still known as Armistice Day in Europe and the UK.

I am a Navy veteran and my wife is an Air Force veteran. I occasionally kid her:
”What does the Marine Corps have? The Marine Corps Marathon.
What does the Army have? The Army 10 Miler.
What does the Navy have? The Navy 5 Miler.
What does the Air Force have? A 2K Fun Run.”
Thanks.
