Now spend the entire day on the internet.

Happy 11th of November.

Happy Pocky Day!

Happy not going to school all day for me!

It's remebrance day here in England. We spend two minutes in silence at 11 in the morning to remebr all who are lost.

Lest we forget.

We had to sit through a program in our school. Luckily, our school is renowned for having the most epic Veteran's Day program in the state.
(Go Wildcats!)

It's also my friend's birthday~ (She turns twenty!)

Ah, happy veteran's day! I want to visit my grandpa now.

I feel guilty that I didnt get a poppy so I will give kym one.

Lest we forget our Veterans… and Myspace.

Meh, veterans day should not be a holiday.

I still had to go to school…

:(

Im sorry i have today and tomorrow off i wish i could give my extra day off to you christopher

@sweatie
its not in the uk

Well I find it sorta stupid to celebrate a day where you are commended for killing, or being around killing.

@kero~

Maybe being British, but as a American we celebrate Vietnam, and napalm bombing villages.

I even got some life magazines that I was reading on the subject of Napalming skools.

Hum, here, in France, the 11th of November is here to celebrate the 1918's armistice with Germany as a holyday.
When we celebrate peace, you celebrate war Sweatie ? Oh well, only in America…

I have family that think the US were cowards for backing out of Vietnam.

@Tomberry

Actually, Armistice Day and Veteran's Day are pretty much the same holiday as they both refer to the armistice the European countries had with Germany in 1918 to end the war. It's just like how Santa Claus is called Father Christmas in several European countries or St. Nicholas in others.

It's a big thing here in the UK, and each year in my town we have the same old veteran conducting the local ceremony, using the radio in his car to get it just right.
