Greetings from your list admin:
Tomorrow, Monday November 11, 2002 is Veterans Day in the Unites States of
America. It used to be called Armistice Day to celebrate the end of the
Great War, now known as World War One. Veterans Day is specifically for
living military veterans, not a general day for honoring anybody and
everybody. Please keep in mind that for many of us, a few pieces of colored
ribbon -- and this day -- are all we get to call our own.
I would like to invite all subscribers to contribute "something" to the
list about a member of the family who served his or her country in the
military. If you have family members who would go unmentioned otherwise,
please feel free to bend the "on topic" rules and go ahead. And SEND THAT
FAMILY MEMBER A COPY.
Also feel free to mention those whose service was to a country other than
the USA. Honor knows no political boundaries.
