My friend Julia posted the cutest interaction with her 7-year-old son.
Zeke: Mom, this month it’s Thanksgiving and Vegetarian’s Day.
Julia (thinking): That’s kind of ironic to have Turkey Day and Vegetarian’s day in the same month.
So she asked Zeke: When is Vegetarian’s day?
Zeke: Wednesday (today)!
Julia: Ohhh, Veterans Day.
Zeke: That’s what I said.We’ll need a moment of education before the holiday, but until then to all you vegetarians out there, Zeke’s thinking of you.
On a more serious note, please take a moment to remember our veterans today.
Gretchen posted some discounts and freebies for service members. The Veterans United Network has some great advice in https://www.veteransunited.com/network/honoring-those-who-served-11-ways-to-celebrate-veterans-day/.
Also, this powerful remembrance from StoryCorps is a must-watch today. His son died in the Iraq War, and a chance encounter brought him face to face with the trauma nurse who was there when his son died.
