As a Veteran, this is a special day for us, so remember your comrades, your family and try to share some stories with them today so they can try to understand what it means.
We enjoy many of the freedoms today because of the sacrifices made before.
Remember 11/11/11 at the 11th hour today, take a moment and pause.
Thanks to everyone for their service.

It is coincides with other holidays such as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day, which are celebrated in other parts of the world and also mark the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I.
