Don't forget, tomorrow is Veterans' Day; the day we honor the military veterans who have defended our country in foreign wars. Around the world, November 11 is celebrated as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day, the day that marks the end of World War I (which formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918.)

So if you get a chance, go to a Veterans' Day celebration somewhere in your community and thank a vet for your freedom.
