Often people go from Halloween to Thanksgiving, so fast they forget Veterans Day, except maybe a parade or flag. They say thank you for your service. Not knowing how daily that service truly is, and can be a great burden. How about holding a job fair and hiring more veterans, they are good workers and may have a family to support.

Hello James. If you want to spread the word around; I can't offer any one a job, but I would be willing to share a way that could help vets support their families regardless of their present military status. They can contact me here or via email@ [login to see] . Tell them to reference this response please.

Halloween here in the UK is getting more & more celebrated - parties, decorations, kids trick or treating, it's a good sight to see & be part of albeit commercialised in the media. Once 31st October is over then everything reverts back as if nothing had happened & stores with stock left over start the sales at half price etc. The whole celebration doesn't really interfere with Veterans/Armistice day, it is celebrated (is that the right word?) throughout towns, villages & churches nationwide - the laying of wreaths, moments of silence & the shedding of a tear, decoration is minimal apart from the poppies & veterans proudly showing their medals.

I have always had great pride in the English for their remembering. The Red Poppy's sell out and all become involved in some way, same for Australia and Canada. America has done some heavy lifting to preserve Democracy, but never lost cities like the "Brits" have. So I lift a pint to you and a jolly good to you all my friends and allies.
