Happy Veterans Day/Remembrance Day

i iz being serious here.

I feel like these days this holiday is getting completely forgotten about and nobody really cares about it anymore. My guess is, this is because we don't get presents or a feast or candy or anything like that on Veterans Day.

As against war and violence as I am, I still have great respect for the veterans of our country. Quite often, they don't choose to be where they are, and even if they do, they're only following orders of someone else. I've seen quite a few cases of people showing disrespect to veterans, for instance on Veterans Day at my school we used to have a lot of veterans come and speak and such in front of the whole school. You would be amazed at the disrespect that's shown to them by the students.

Anyway, I don't want to turn this into another rant thread. Let's just remember the people who have fought and died, and the people who have fought and lived, for their amazing courage and great service to our country. They deserve our respect.

If you know any veterans, family or friends or whatever, give them a call or go and see them, and say "thank you" for what they've done for all of us.

EDIT: Happy Remembrance Day for our Canadian and UK buddies. Your veterans deserve just as much respect.
