Liz, thanks for the post. As a veteran of 'Nam, the son of a WWII vet, and the proud father of a current serviceman (USAF), I can't begin to express my persoanal thanks to all who have gone on before us. As they say, "All gave some, Some gave All", and for those who gave everything and for their families, it is especially nice to remember them. Not just on an annual basis, but every day.

I drive a school bus, in my semi-retirement, and I haul 6th and 7th grade kids to/from school. I always try to remind them of the special days that are meaningful, with Veterans Day being one of them. Unfortunately, many of them have no clue as to the significance of the day. A few, however, know it to be the day it is because one of them has a parent in the military or who may have died in service to their country.
