I can't believe there hasn't been a thread on this yet. Thank you to the veterans for letting us live the way we do! :thumbsup:

I think this is fitting:

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Correct me if I'm mistaken but isn't Veteran's Day is about the living and Memorial Day about the fallen?

There has: Lest we forget., but we can't say thanks too much.

Ah, how I love the search function here. A search for "veterans" in the title or body doesn't bring up a thread with "veterans" in the body. Go Fusetalk!

You have a holiday for dead and living soldiers?

I hate to break it to you, but the "body only" and "title or body" parts of the advanced search haven't worked since about the beginning of April. It does make finding anything a challenge.
