Veteran's Day

Today the United States and Canada remembers all its veterans, especially those who have given the ultimate sacrifice.

Veterans Day was started to remember the official end to World War I on November 11, 1918 at 11:00am. (The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.)

This picture is of my grandfather, who earned a Purple Heart in that war and lost sight in one eye.
