"November is Veterans Awareness MonthObedientiaZelum said:We have other months dedicated to various groups, lets piggy back movember with Veterans awareness month.
;D
Also remember, though, that the U.S. has Memorial Day, with its origins going back to after the Civil War, to specifically remember the fallen.Sigs Pig said:"November is Veterans Awareness Month
November 11 is Veterans Day, and the Brookhaven Veterans Association (BVA) and the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) have teamed up to offer a month-long series of lectures and events at Brookhaven National Laboratory to celebrate the service the United States military veterans have provided to the country."
Done.

Kat Stevens said:Remembrance Day has nothing to do with veterans. It's a day to remember those who never got a chance to be veterans.
Thank you Edward. I'm with you on this, it would hopefully be a solution to return the 11th to what it was intended. A day to pay tribute to Veterans would be much more enjoyable in the warm weather of June.E.R. Campbell said:I disagree.
The existing "holiday" for government employees should be cancelled - we can have a new, "nicer" Veterans' Day in, say, Jun or Sep, when the weather is nicer, that will pacify the unions.
Remembrance Day should become, Ă la the UK, Remembrance Sunday, with official events in all the communities that want them, on the Sunday before 11 Nov.

And mixing veterans issues into Remembrance Day ceremonies is a mistake.
It only takes away from its intended purpose.
I voted "no"
