the name was changed to veterans day, and the intent changed to honor all veterans. but the day remains the 11 of november, when the armistice was signed by germany.
happy veterans day to all veterans, everywhere.

My husband and I went to see the stage version of "War Horse" on Friday. Much of the story takes place during WW1. There's a beautiful folk song that they used in the show, "Only Remembered." I found this video tribute to the soldiers who fought in the Great War set to a lovely version of the song. Happy Veterans' Day to the veterans. May we never forget to make sure the ones returning from service get the care and support they deserve.
