For the Vets.

Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to serving our country. Much love and respect.

Oh, you meant veterans. I thought you were talking about veterinarians. Much apologies.

I did too. Sorry.

It's also Pocky Day in Japan, but since November 11th is over there, this one's for the vets.

The only vet I know of on here is Freaky, I'm sure there are more though.

Wrong country, mate.




Remembrance Day was created to honour the dead of World War I. Celebrated November 11th to mark the end of hostilities "at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month".


With the Union Jack, the Commonwealth countries are included, and- while it never was formally part of the alliance- The U.S. did join in for the last year, after Germany tried to get Mexico to go to war with the States.


Not exactly sure when- but people seem to have shifted the focus of Remembrance Day on WWII, and- while not wrong- all warriors should be honoured- we should never forget its original purpose.

Lest we forget.


Also:

For me Remembrance day is about remembering those who died because they had no choice, because of badly thought out battle plans for half-baked causes and petty political struggle.

Remembering those who are still alive and who have served is all well and good but when you think of the sheer masses dead, you wonder what it was all for.

War is hell for everyone involved.

I'm working. Veterans Day is just another day. The parade is cool though.

Free shit for vets at TGI Friday's I think.

And applebee's
Golden coral
And at freaky's house which im cooking red beans and rice with fried gizzards and hearts.

Shit freaky, You might as well save that for tomorrow and get in the action before its too late.

Nah. I don't wanta.. i been up since five am.

Take your pill grandpa and go to sleep.

Why?

Work.

Ah.

Isn't it Veterans' Day on November 11th in the States as well?

Also, that comic...

>England "entering the war"

I fucking died.

Went to see the 38th Parallel during Vets' Day. Pretty somber feelings. Gotta a lot of respect for both the S.Koreans and the N.Koreans for what they do.

No it isn't, war is extremely profitable if you get paid to supply arms and rebuild nations.

I'm pretty sure its contemporary definition takes precedence. Thanks for the history lesson though.
