Today is a special day. The eleventh Hour of the eleventh Day of the eleventh Month is celebrated now as Veteran's Day or is it Remembrance Day or Memorial Day. I guess it depends what country you are in. Over the years, the name has changed but not the sentiment. We in North America honor our people who fought and died in wars.
The day is important. The government and banks are closed. Most businesses were open. Ken and I went to the bank before we realized it was closed. How could we forget?
Gill sent a report of the event held in Liverpool. It sounded spectacular. Well attended and emotional, held in the Astor Theater. The Mersey Band played. Everyone who had been in the military wore in uniform. According to Gill, it was an impressive event. Those who died during a war had their name called out loud.
San Antonio is a military city. The people here honor their military personnel all the time but especially on today. It is a big deal which is nice to see. Military folks have special pricing at most places. Impressive that the honor to the veterans continues all year long.
