Veterans Day on November 11th honors military veterans who served in the United States Armed Forces. The federal holiday coincides with Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, which marks World War I.

These observances reflect the end of significant hostilities at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 when the Armistice with Germany took effect. Initially, the United States observed Armistice Day as well. However, it evolved into the current Veterans Day in 1954.

Veterans Day is not to be confused with Memorial Day or Armed Forces Day. Veterans Day celebrates all United States military veterans. However, Memorial Day is set aside for remembering the men and women who died while serving. Additionally, Armed Forces Day recognizes the men and women currently serving in the United States military.

Happy Veterans Day to the Veterans in my family - the vets still with us: Bud Jones (Dad), Bryan Shumway (Cousin); and the vets who have passed on: @Bob Shumway (uncle), Flay Alexander (grandpa), John Brown (adopted papa).

Happy Veterans Day to all Veterans - God Bless You and Thank You for your service

We had some delightful (non-threatening) thunderstorms last night but today is going to be sunny and warm. I have got a little straightening up to do around my casa and then volunteering this afternoon at the clinic.

I still have PLEX (plasma exchange) scheduled for tomorrow morning but I hope to cancel it and just go in for a dressing change on my port. That all depends on how cooperative my legs are today and how intense the numbness and tingling is in my body.

I need a gauge or a meter to track / measure how intense the tingling is every day - a Tinglemeter - LOL! Look, I need to make this fun / light in every way I can or it could get real ugly and depressing. And nobody wants that.

What is on your schedule today?

Anyhoozle, I hope you all have a wonderful day and whatever you do today and every day, do it with kindness in your heart. The world is full of kind people. If you can’t find one, be one! And as always:

...wear a mask

...be kind and compassionate to one another

...dance/sing/laugh it out. It might not help but it sure as hell couldn't hurt.

Peace, Love and Blessings to you all. -AJ
