Veterans Day

[jp1]

Thank you to all those who served bravely and sacrificed greatly so I could enjoy living free. The sentiment often never gets lost in political debates due to genuflecting of both parties, but I am truly grateful for each and every one of you, living or passed on. *Salute*

Are you kidding? Genuflecting to veterans is one of the few universals across political parties.

Not sure what you're getting at. I wasn't insinuating that anyone didn't have appreciation for veterans, just that today was a good day to express it, without any political debate. The "sentiment gets lost" does not equate to "people don't care" in this instance. I simply meant that in all the rhetoric it is rarely mentioned. However, could we please not have a debate about this in this thread? It wasn't a jab at anyone.

Edit: I needed google as well, hat's off on the vocabulary.

[Ack]

I already wished my father a Happy Veteran's Day.

Not sure if that was a dig at my typo or not, but I'll quote wikipedia (always defer to wikipedia as a credible source ) in my defense.

While the holiday is commonly printed as Veteran's Day or Veterans' Day in calendars and advertisements (spellings that are grammatically acceptable), the United States government has declared that the attributive (no apostrophe) rather than the possessive case is the official spelling.

Haha, no, I actually just meant I had wished my father this morning to have a good holiday.

I figured as much, but since I had made the typo, I thought maybe a little ribbing was in order. Quoting wiki as a reputable source was meant as a joke by the way.

Why do you have to make every thread controversial?
