We have a public holiday here in Belgium on the 11th of November, to celebrate the end of the Great War and to pay our respects who have fought for us.

Ours used to be called ARMISTICE DAY after WWI, the war to end all wars, too Mona.. Eventually, here, it became VETERANS DAY to honor those from all our conflicts.. WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and now the two Gulf wars..
