War I. In Europe, they call it Armistice Day, and these photographs are of
celebrations in London in the form of red ceramic poppies that cover the ground

Reflection: The dead, we have a separate holiday specifically purpose,
Memorial Day. That's the day when we honor all those who gave the ultimate
sacrifice in defense of our nation, including my many brave and love able people.
Veterans Day is about honoring those who answered, and served with honor, when
our nation was at war and called. It's a day to thank all who served, in war
and peace, everyone who took the oath and put on the uniform of our armed
services.
