Veteran's Day

Not taking any political sides here, but did anyone notice the latest push to return the name "Veterans Day" back to"Armistice Day"???
Haven’t heard that in our neighborhood. It’s still just Veterans day here.

I haven't heard any push to do so in this neck of the woods. As far I'm concerned, Veteran's Day is the proper way to recognize those who serve our country regardless of wartime or peacetime.

Thanks guys. I guess the “news” that I saw was one of those scripted blurbs that’s more hype than fact.if I gave more detail about the article I saw here I’d get “moderated”

Growing old disgracefully
In the UK it was called Armistice Day. It is now commonly called Remembrance Sunday as it a Day of Remembrance for all those who served in any capacity.
It is usually held on the closest Sunday to 11th November. The actual day, 11th November, is known as Armistice Day and, unless it is a Sunday, is usually only observed by those who served and civic dignitaries.
Confused yet?
