(see posts on Remembrance Day 2004, Remembrance Day/ Veteran's Day 2005) Today is Veterans Day in the USA, and Remembrance Day in the British Commonwealth countries. Too many others said it better than I can, so I'll just let them do so: * Armed Liberal's post about Veterans Day, liberalism & patriotism is exceptional. Be ye left or be ye right, you need to read it. * Here's a guy who understands. Tanker Schreiber sent me this Veteran's Day link: Muslim Defends U.S., Land That He Loves. Sgt. Wasim Khan is with 1st Armored Division in Iraq and was badly wounded, but it looks like he's going to recover - and re-enlist. * This is the best page for Canadian Remembrance Day resources. The famous poem "In Flanders Fields" is here, along with the poetic reply to it and many informative links. My favourite: please scroll down a bit and read the "Wear a Poppy" poem on the right. * P. notes that they're still pulling bodies out of Flanders' fields, almost a century later. * Canadian blogger David Mader has a great photo, with an even better caption. Best wishes to our boys in Afghanistan, Bosnia, and elsewhere. * David Aaronovitch has some Remembrance Day words to ponder in Britain's Guardian Observer (Hat Tip: Instapundit). Read it, then see this 1941 Dr. Suess cartoon. * Rev. Donald Sensing. Major Donald Sensing (ret). They're one and the same, which makes him superbly qualified to offer a Veterans Day Sermon to his congregants, a Veterans Day blog post to his brothers and sisters in arms, plus some tips on pastoral care for those suffering from combat trauma. Excellence all around. To all who take time this day to remember the debt we owe, thank you.
