"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."
My notes: What they fought for then, it is our duty to continue that fight today.

"On November 11th, National Sundae Day brings a celebration to ice cream lovers across the country. Enjoy one of every flavor and bring a friend! An ice cream sundae typically consists of one or two scoops of ice cream topped with syrup or sauce. The sundae is often topped with whipped cream, maraschino cherry, sprinkles, pineapple or a variety of other toppings. Sundae History While the oldest known record of an ice cream sundae is an Ithaca, NY advertisement, the originator of the dessert is still debated. The October 5, 1892 ad in the Ithaca Daily Journal spelled the ice cream treat with the conventional day of the week spelling β Sunday. However, Two Rivers, Wisconsin claims Druggist Edward Berners served the first ice cream sundae in 1881. According to the story, customer George Hallauer ordered an ice cream soda on a Sunday. Ordinances at the time prohibited the sale of ice cream sodas on the Sabbath. Even so, Berners came up with a compromise. He served the ice cream in a dish minus the soda. Additionally, he topped it with chocolate syrup. Given the day, he called it a Sundae. One interesting catch β Berners was 18 at the time the story takes place. Ithacaβs claim to the ice cream sundae takes place at Platt & Colt Pharmacy in 1892 where Reverend John M. Scott stops to order a bowl of ice cream. When Chester Platt, proprietor, began preparing the ice cream for his customer, he didnβt stop at just a couple of scoops of vanilla. Platt drizzled cherry syrup over the ice cream and topped them with a bright red, candied cherry. The dessert looked and tasted so delightful it required its own name. Since the day was Sunday, it was named for the day it was created. Ithaca also has historical evidence supporting the story, including an advertisement for a Cherry Sunday." My notes: I used to always love sundaes. With extra hot fudge sauce

"National Direct-To-Consumer Friday, or National DTC Friday, takes place every year, exactly two weeks before Black Friday in the United States. This year, it takes place on November 11. This day is the first national shopping holiday that celebrates and empowers the direct-to-consumer movement, a business model that gets rid of third parties and connects product sellers and service providers directly with their clients, thus offering a faster and much more efficient process. The date right before Black Friday was chosen to accelerate and support the D.T.C. community and spread the word about it, as there are many options in the market and consumers can get confused when they are about to buy something."
My notes: Has anybody heard of this before? I haven't.

"Death/Duty Day is annually observed on November 11. It marks the end of World War I β one of the most destructive conflicts in history β and honors the people who gave their lives fighting for their countries. The holiday remembers the utter ruin created by the Great War to ensure a conflict like this never happens again."
My notes: Too many people nowadays feel they are entitled. Entitled to freedom, money, fame. They don't realize what they take for granted was FOUGHT & HARD. If these people were to be drafted or if our country went to war & we were the centerfield, they wouldn't make it.

Too many people nowadays feel they are entitled. Entitled to freedom And most don't know what 'freedom' means. It certainly doesn't mean you have the right to do whatever the hell you want.
