What is Veterans Day?
- Lewis Smith - Veterans Day is a special day for Americans. Unlike Memorial Day when we honor those who gave their lives for our country, today is a time to salute all veterans -- both living and dead-- and their sacrifices. Today should not be a day of sadness, but a time of pride and reflection on what veterans have accomplished and the freedoms they have protected. ![]() -------------------- |

Remeberance day to me is a day when we can look at our neighbours and all other Allies involved , Americans, Canadians, Brits, Russians ,Polish and so many more and realize that for a time.....we had no borders, and all put aside our trivial bickering to defeat a foe who's sole purpose... was world domination.
To my late Grandfather who fought in WW1 and WW2..to my 3 Uncles who fought on the bloody battefields of Normandy and the rest of Europe.... to my good friends father who fought with the Americans as a Tank Commander and survived to tell us gripping tales of battling Tiger tanks, to my grammar school prinicipal and all his stories of dogfighting over the skies of Europe ...to ALL those who fought and sacrificed their lives for the freedoms we have today, and to those whom are still fighting to preserve what we have....there is no greater sacrifice...God bless them all . -------------------- ![]() |
