Veterans Day is November 11, Tuesday, a national holiday honoring our veterans of the armed forces and those killed in the country’s wars. It originated in 1919 on the first anniversary of the 1918 armistice that ended World War I and was known as Armistice Day. It was commemorated in 1921 with the burial of an unknown soldier from World War I at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia. Other countries that had lost soldiers in the conflict, such as Italy and Portugal, conducted similar ceremonies that year. The previous year, unknown soldiers had been interred at Westminster Abbey in London, England, and at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France.
Last Week’s Football Pickers Winner, Tina Lester. Congratulations Tina!
Has football season started? Nope. It’s just about over. At least for the regular season, then – as coaches will tell you – Part III is just about to begin… at least for some teams. We’re now in Week 11 folks. Let that sink in for a minute.
