Why is it that at class reunions you feel younger than everyone else looks?

Subject: [VFB] The eleventh day of the eleventh month, Not what you expect
From my Viet Nam Vet Friend Woods,
Jimi
USCG ITWPATWT 100% Vet
I don't remember any expiration Date on my Oath to Service...
The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but
because he loves what is behind him. G.K. Chesterton
If the representatives of the people betray their constituents,
there is then no recourse left but in the exertion of that original
right of self-defense Alexander Hamilton
You are free to use as you see fit
The eleventh day of the eleventh month
By Woods Houghton
The eleventh day of the eleventh month,
The day is Veterans Day
Why this day
To take off time to play
No! It is this day
To stop and pray
For those who have served,
Those who are serving
The family of those who gave everything to serve
It was at the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleven month
Generals, Commanders, and the brass gathered
To sign the end of the Great War
The war to end all wars
Almost 100 years ago
It was not the end of all wars
As a family at a small country Church gather
Yes, another son will live without a father,
Another good woman will live without a husband
As the flag is folded and place in her hand
A tear runs down the face of the man from whose hand it came
The bugle makes it last call
For the brave young man who answered the same call
As those before
It seem so inadequate to say
Thank you for your sacrifice today
So, take the time
To give as they have given
A moment at the eleventh hour
Of the eleventh day
Of the eleventh month
To pray for those who serve
Those left behind
Those who will grow up alone
Today, Veterans Day
