Veterans Day

     It is not Veteran's Day, by the way, and it is not a day to honor those who died in service (That would be Memorial Day), or for those who are currently serving in the military services. They become Veterans when they leave service.
     Even Google seems to have gotten it not quite right in their always interesting logo for the day:

    Isn't the yellow ribbon a symbol for someone missing in action or serving overseas, and i.e., not a Veteran?
   But thanks for the thought anyway.
   Oh, and Veterans Day isn't really "celebrated". While not as downbeat at Memorial Day, it's a sober recognition of those who served The U.S. in whatever capacity.
   And we thank you for your service.
