+1 on that.

I would also like to recall that our Veteran's Day was originally Armistice Day to commemorate the end of WWI, and those who served in it.

There are only a few of these guys left. I remember meeting as a boy my Great Uncle Johnny, who survived mustard gas poisoning while serving with the Canadian army in France. He lived, but with trouble breathing the rest of his life. He told me that he was just a second slow putting on his mask and "only got a wiff." He never talked about the guys who were slower or got more than a "wiff."
