November 11th, 2011 is unique in so many ways.
1) Today is Veterans’ Day. Celebrating veterans all over the country, the holiday was established in 1918, when an agreement between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month that ended World War I. Today we honor everyone that has serviced in the armed forces for protecting us and the ideals our country stands behind.
