Commentary:

I have tomorrow off as a holiday

Why do I have tomorrow off, you might ask. Tomorrow is Armistice Day here in France, known as Veteran's Day in the United States. This is the day that the slaughter of World War I finally ceased after over four years of idiotic attacks ordered by generals who had no idea what they were asking of troops, attacks made by those troops without the benefit of any body armor against fixed machine gun positions and entrenched opposition. This date was chosen by Congress to honor our veterans because it was the day that that World War I ended.

This is a national holiday in France, where most people have the day off.

This is a national holiday in the United States, called Veteran's Day to honor those who have served our nation in our Armed Forces, where most people (except those who work for banks or the government) have to work.

Isn't there something wrong with this picture?

If you agree, write your Congressman and Senator. Today.
