Hi all,

November 11 is just about three weeks away, so I though this was timely.

I've always thought that, as wargamers, we should pay more attention to this
day than most. With that in mind, I put the following together:

is always welcome.

(I don't believe November 11 as Remembrance Day is celebrated in the US. I
know it's done in Canada, the UK and the Commonwealth nations, but what
&
when does the States hold their equivilant?)

The only difference I know of is we call it Veterans Day. It's also held on
Nov. 11. It was originally called Armistice Day, however, after WWII I
believe, the powers that be decided to expand it to include all who have

served.
