This is a traditional American 'holiday,' but this goes out to veterans everywhere, regardless of what country you served and call your own. Thanks Vets!
Canada commemorates veterans on November 11th as well. It is not traditionally nor exclusively an American day. It evolved to mark the signing of the armistice ending WWI at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. In the U.S. it is known as Veterans Day, in Canada it is called Remembrance Day. It is also commemorated in Australia, France, and Belgium as Remembrance Day or Armistice Day.
My thanks to all our vets currently serving or with past service. My love and respect to the families of those fallen in service to their country.
