November 11th

Today marks Veteran's Day in the United States, when we honor all of those who have served in our armed forces. The date is significant because the end of World War I (the supposed "war to end all wars") came at the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh month. (Most Veteran's day parades, including NYC's will begin at exactly 11AM.)

I'm writing to some notable U.S. military veterans.
