to all the vets . thank you for serving your country. you the greastest     

Lest we forget, at 11.11.11 we honour them

 

They shall not grow old
As we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them
Nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun
And in the morning
We will remember them
Lest we forget

How do America honour commemorate this day?  Genuine question.

 

We in England use the Poppy which I believe originates from the poem In Flanders Field, where nothing but poppies grew after the terrible fighting in WW1. Money raised by The British Legion from the sale of the poppies goes to help our vets. 

 

Just interested how our across the pond people do it.

Parades and holiday pay if you work a government job. Some get day off.

Some it's just another day.

Lots of pubs and restaurants give a free item all the way up to a free meal.

 

I drank some beers

Sarge still carries around a 20-year-old expired military ID on this day, because on this day: free stuff.
