Veterans Day

 

            A heartfelt salute to the millions of America's military veterans and currently deployed troops at home and abroad as we mark Veterans Day every year on Nov. 11, with parades and such.

 

            We say:

 

THANK YOU!!!

 

            To understand the most serious thing in the world - war - we turn to a rather unusual topic: military humor.

 

            Students and adults alike may learn a lot about the military lifestyle and what it means to go through battles and military service from these funny and rather telling statements, a takeoff on "Murphy's Laws" - "anything that can go wrong, will."
