At 11:00 o'clock on the morning of November 11, 1918 the armistice was signed ending the fighting of the First World War. Most European nations refer to it as 'Armistice Day'. Here in the United States we long ago changed the meaning to honor all veterans, so here it's 'Veterans Day'

For us it's the start of the 'carnaval' season (fun, music, beer, laughter etc).

Where are you at?

[edit] Of course this year it's on a Sunday, so I can't get to where all the free meals are.
