I'm sure most of you knew today is Veteran's Day - let's face it it is not the most celebrated federal holiday. As my dad gets older and is still kicking around I celebrate it with him - he's a Korean veteran(just a reminder - it's one of those unforgotten wars). He wanted my brother and I to go to a candlight vigil for veterans with him in downtown Van Nuys*, but I had to decline - gotta go to a volleyball match tonight at CSUN! Instead my brother and I along with our dear old Mom had breakfast with him.
To any Volleytalk members - if you are a veteran....Happy Veterans Day to you. Thanks for your sacrafice and service.
From Maureen Cobas of Pomona**:
My 10-year-old was ecstatic. There would be no school on Thursday because it was Veterans Day.
"And what is a veteran?"I quizzed him. He thought for a moment. "A veteran is someone who says, 'God Bless America'" he replied. I couldn't have said it better myself.
---- *Van Nuys? to those who do want to know where Van Nuys is, it's a community in the city of L.A. in the S F Valley **Pomona is 30 minutes east of downtown l.a. and a city in the county of l.a.
