What day is today...?

Veteran's Day, and hopefully you already knew that. A day off in the middle of the week. Rather unusual, but very welcome all the same. The problem with the Days Off, though, is that we tend to forget what they're about, in all the glory of not having to go to work, school, etc.
So, what we need to do today is take a moment to remember all those who have fought and possibly died to protect this country and what values it has. All the people who died in Iraq, Vietnam, Korea, the World Wars, and in any one of the other numerous conflicts we've gotten ourselves into. Remember our soldiers and veterans. It's because of them that you're still here.
