    World War 1 ended on 11/11/1918.
    Thank you, fellas.

    Happy Veterans Day.
    Take a moment to remember why you're off from work today.

            Don't get me started on the Smart-phone, Mad. As if all the answers are on the phone.

            These servicemen went thru some hellacious situations. I can only imagine. The veterans deserve our respect, as it helped form the future of this country.

              We have Remembrance Day here. My grandfather and great grandfather fought in the British army.

              Never forget.

                I can’t imagine these youngsters in boot camp w/o their phones for 12 weeks and having DIs yelling at them.

                    I don't think so.

                    Young educated people are the same everywhere. They all explore radical ideas and want to grow up and be part of the solution, in every country.

                    Experience, wealth and cynicism come later and mellow them out.

                        It's not so much what they teach, but how they teach it.
