Remembering our veterans: Not just a Monday holiday

A health care blogging break in honor of our veterans.  For a history of Veterans Day, see here.  I always liked that it is one holiday that does not get moved to the closest Monday:

Veterans Day continues to be observed on November 11, regardless of what day of the week on which it falls. The restoration of the observance of Veterans Day to November 11 not only preserves the historical significance of the date, but helps focus attention on the important purpose of Veterans Day: A celebration to honor America's veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.
