In the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth, today is Remembrance Day marking the end of the First World War and honoring all those servicemen and women lost in the First World War and since.
I was in Canada this weekend and among other places visited Amherstberg, Ontario and the Town certainly memorializes and honors its servicemen that died in the wars, and will hold ceremonies today to honor them.
In the United States, it is Veteran's Day, a day for appreciating and honoring those who have served our country and defended this great nation in times of open war both declared and undeclared, cold war and in preserving the peace.

A huge debt that we can never repay. I wish to thank every man and woman who served our nation whether in time of hostilities or in time of relative peace. They set their own lives aside to write a blank check to defend our Constitution and our way of life.
I am grateful that we continue to have Patriots still today, serving to preserve, protect, and defend the one greatest document that has given Americans freedom for nearly 250 years. I can only pray that we will begin to once more show ourselves deserving of their sacrifice.
