Your Veteran's Day story: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=120300346

In other random musings, say what is the difference between Veterans Day and Memorial Day anyway? And before we bring up how Memorial Day is the one to honor the dead, keep in mind the president visits the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on Veterans Day. I'm seriously stumped by this one.

ETA: I hate driving. My car lost traction in the rain today and I ended up in a ditch.

Veteran's day honors the living and dead who have served America and the end of WW1 while Memorial day is for those who died in the military or of military actions in general. :D

Wow, I honestly did not know about the WWI part. Yay for today's education system or probably just my sucky memory. Thanks for clearing that up. o/ I guess it makes more sense why Veterans Day is the quasi-holiday then.

I believe it's still celebrated as Armistice Day in many countries.

We just call it Rememberance Day over here in Canada and the UK. Uh, go us?
