Poll question: November 11th is Veterans' Day.
What's the best way to recognize the sacrifice and contribution Veterans make?

1. Revert November 11 to its original, sacred intent -- Armistice Day. . .
and rededicate ourselves to the end of all war.

3. All that stuff is too much to do in one day. For Veterans Day, just say ...
... "Thanks!"

In person. With eye contact. Sincerely.
(Or maybe two seconds of someone's valuable time is just too much to expect.)

5. Yeah, but we can work on it.
Maybe I should have reworded it to something about instead of one day how best can we honor Vets.

6. Honor the warrior and provide for them and their children, and do all we can to fight no more wars.
