Ya' know, SARGE is right. And, I say this because now that he brought it up---I've been hard-pressed to find a calendar that even acknowledges the day, anymore.
And that's a shame. Even if it's not an actual "holiday", it should still be remembered.
Guess since the "proof", as in our surviving vets of the period, is disappearing in ever-increasing numbers each day, it's no longer a necessary "subject" to teach to the younger-future of this country.
How soon we forget the past, only to repeat it, eventually, huh...???
Just a kid, stuck in the body of this fat bastard...
Still tryin' to figure out how to be the man I wanna be, with the help of some good friends.
