Keep an eye out for it with Memorial Day coming up. Alsao watch out for it on Veteran's (Armistice) Day.
That's one I wish was left as original, as it signalled the end of WWI. The 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month, all hostillities will cease on the Western Front. VE-Day, and VJ-Day, and all the others should be individually respected too. Not combined into one, so as to dilute the meaning of each. It ruins and makes insignificant each of it's importance in our history, and what was sacrificed. But that's just my take on it.
I remember as a youngster growing up, we would celebrate each individually, for our family members who served. And if it fell on a school day, my folks would excuse me from school for it. And on Armistice Day, we kids in school would sell paper poppies for a buck each and donate the procedes to the veteran's hospitol in Detroit.
