We at EDS are closed today, in recognition of Rememberance Day & U.S. Veterans Day. However, I have not forgotten to draw this week's winner of the gift certificate.
Congratulations to Forum member MsJam. She may pick-up her voucher in her U2U Message Box.
Today, take a moment to reflect upon how grateful we all should be to those who have fought in wars, to protect the freedom and liberties that we all-too-often take for granted. If you encounter a vet. today, be sure to acknowledge & thank them 
I always recite the following, famous poem (in my head) on this day, as it's words ring-true, even today.
In Flanders Fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
