I'm not sure if I could tell any of the veterans I know "thank you for defending our country". I live in Canada, and all of the veterans I know served in the British military, and it doesn't feel right saying "thank you for defending your country".

Veteran's Day is tomorrow, Sunday, November 11, 2012 here in the USA. However, since it is a Sunday, many businesses and other government institutions will be celebrating it on Monday, November 12th also. So, whenever you celebrate have a Happy day and remember to "Thank" a Veteran if you can because they deserve that and so much more!!

Also, remember that many restaurants and other establishments are offering free meals and other free deals of some type to Veterans on Veteran's Day or in the days surrounding it, so keep that it mind. I believe that Veteran's also can get in State Parks free on that day or probably for a lesser charge...check your area out to see what Veteran's Day deals and freebies exist where you are in participating businesses, etc.

Also, a great big "Thank You" to all our Veteran's here at the Fringes Of Algo!!! :clap: We salute you!! :salute:

Monday, November 11, 2013 and it is Veteran's Day once again here in the USofA. Thank you to all our Veterans wherever you may be and wherever you may have served or may be serving now. You are all owed a debt of gratitude for your sacrifice in helping to serve, protect, and defend your country. We salute you!! :salute:

And, on an additional note, Thank you to our Fringes Of Algo Veterans who have served, or are currently serving. We salute you!! :salute: If we have anyone new that has joined the board and that is also a Veteran, please speak up in a post below and let us recognize you and thank you for you service. :)

If you know of a Veteran, or may have a family member who is a Veteran, please take the time today to tell them "Thank You for your service"!

And, don't forget that many businesses or restaurants may be offering special deals to Veteran's on this day. Check in your area to see if there are any special offers or promotions today to honor your hometown Veteran's, etc.

My father is a Veteran, so he and I went to Applebees for dinner, where he was given a free dinner. We went pretty early, and it was still crazy busy. Lots of Veterans on hand. Couldn't ask for better company :) Much respect :clap:

Veteran's Day is tomorrow, Tuesday, November 11, 2014 in the USA :usa: and in other parts of the world. If you know a Veteran, please take the time to say "Thank You" to them for their service if you have the opportunity and are able to do so. It is the least we can do for them on this special day and every day for that matter.

Also, if you happen to be a Veteran, please remember that many restaurants and other places of business may be offering special deals to Veterans on this Veteran's Day holiday which may include some " free " special deals as well. There may be a list of some places up above that do this every year, or you can do a google search and find out more about any special offers for Veterans that may be taking place in the area where you live.

And, last but certainly not least, please remember we have several of our members here on the Phantasy Star Fringes Of Algo site who are Veterans and we send them a huge "Thank You" for their service. Some of them are listed in the previous posts above and if there are any new to add to the list please post and let us know about them.

Yes, some of my best 8 years.
Yes.
Youre welcome, friends.
its a job like any other. (except driven by the military-industrial complex)
History: 11 November is a Holiday in every country. usually known as Armistice Day, the day World War 1 ended.
However thats all in the past, so now its a grand holiday to buy flags on sale.

In Canada we still call it that and we focus on the people who fought in WW1.
