...small point, perhaps, but:

Memorial Day was established to honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty to their country. Veterans Day is meant to be a joyous commemoration of the men and women who have served in the Armed Forces, and first started out as Armistice Day to celebrate the end of World War I.

But, Samrob, I'm certain the recognition you gave is appreciated.
