That's what I meant, that in countries like Belgium or France, where most of the Western Front fighting took place the Armistice day is different.
I hope you enjoyed you meal(s?), Steve!
Actually I do support american veterans by using a veterans taxi where available, when using a cab in The US. The drivers can speak english, are great conversation partners who often share some interesting views and stories. They know the difference between shots and firecrackers and very important: they are used to drunk people - or Penguins - with weird accents and views
