Hey, Bubba, we don't need you or any other Republican loser to tell us how to celebrate.  It's time that you and your kind get used to the idea that you can't force your twisted idealogy on the rest of us anymore.  Get used to it; it's going to be a breath of fresh air in this country.   It's called "freedom," and we're entitled to it just like you are.

It's just a b.s. made-up holiday. Do what I do, and celebrate it on the 15th. Take care.

Consider this - what do you do on November 11th to honor those veterans who fought to defend this country?\n\nWhat do you do on the first Monday in September to honor those who labor in this country?\n\nWhat do you do on the last Monday in May to honor those who gave their lives fighting for this country?\n\nIf you're anything like me (or the vast majority of Americans) you don't really do anything special.\n\nWhile I'm not saying that the attacks on September 11th were not horific and terrible, odds are that in a few years September 11th would turn into another holiday that goes largely uncelebrated and Americans use as another day off.

hey hun even have your own celebration. Make some anzac cookies.\nAnzac Biscuit Cookies \n2 cups flour\n2 cups rolled oats\n2 cups sugar\n1 cup coconut\n1 cup butter\n2 Tbs golden syrup\n3/4 tsp baking soda\n1/4 cup boiling water\n\nPreheat oven to 350F. Lightly oil cookie sheets. Mix dry ingredients.\n\nMelt butter and syrup in medium to large saucepan. Dissolve baking soda in water and add to butter mix. Careful -it will bubble vigorously. Add butter mix to dry ingredients. Mix well. Use small scoop to form cookies and place apart on cookie sheets. Flatten slightly with a fork or the palm of your hand.\n\nBake about 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Don't let them get too brown. Cool them on the cookie sheets for a few minutes, then finish cooling them on a rack. If they cool totally on the cookie sheets they go really hard.\n\nJust looked at the on yahoo and that and i found no celebrations to be held in philadelphia but if you make the biscuts,and is it a rosemary leaf for anzac or is it november 11th any ways to a nice gesture if you cant be in australia maybe visit the legacy website make a donation, or visit a war memorial, gallipolli was like on the coast of turkey right maybe visit a embassy or call them they may know.\nany ways good luck and have a good anzac day when 25th april rolls around.

As a naturalized US citizen and wife of a veteran, I say NO.  Each of these holidays mean the world to us - you missed one--Flag Day (yesterday), Washington's Birthday (I don't call it President's day - as there should be a day to honor our first President).  For each of these holidays we celebrate it in family, the US Flags are everywhere, house is decorated. And before the meal, a prayer is said to honor all who for our freedom paid the ultimate price.  We go to our small town parade.  Dress in red-white-blue.  When we have been overseas on Memorial Day or Veteran's DAy, we have always made it a point to visit a National Cemetary.  Our son died (not in a conflict but in an auto accident) we always have red-white-blue flowers and flags on his grave....\n\nSo, no, these days are very special to us.  And as a naturalized citizen, they have come to mean what America is to me.\n\nDid you fly your flags yesterday??  Our towns had them all over the place!

I have very good friends who live in the USA from Iraq, Iraqy people are good people ( There are just some who are bad)  I wish you could hear them talk, the Iraqy people are very proud of our country for helping them, all what you see & hear is on the news and news can be misleading and we all know that, these people I know have had family murdered by the bad people there Saddam etc, so please before you really judge our president , go talk to some kind very open Iraqy  people here in the USA, you would be suprised what you hear, pull away now and the USA, will be pussy cats and not only that, what would the other countries think of us???? think about that one, Our people who joined , joined on their free will, we did not force them I understand there are alot dying but hey, theye did it, so you can eat everyday, so you can walk free, so you can say just what you said today on this internet. Be thankful, thats all.

Veterans Day, this year and every year, is November 11.  It commemorates the signing of the peace treaty in World War One, which was signed at 11:00 on November 11, the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.\n\nHowever, the *celebration* of the holiday will be on Friday, November 10, in order to give people a three-day weekend.\n\nGood luck!!

8:00 pm east coast, history channel. Maybe some people can learn a bit of truth about this holiday. Native Americans have gotten the crappy end of the stick more than any other race of people in America. If more people really knew their history, not the crap they teach about feel good history, they wouldn't write the kind of responses I have read. I guess it applies to all forums on here. Some people wouldn't believe the truth even if it was smacking them in the face. Demonize it, then kill it or pass a law to control it. Worked then, works now.

Thanks for the link. I sent an e-card. Shout out to Specialist Thomas C. Gordon of the US Army. Thanks homey. Thank You to ALL those who have served. Just because I am against Bush does not mean I will not do my duty as a patriot today and pray that you can all come home ASAP!

Well, when my hubby was in Iraq, I spent alot of time with family and friends. I made it a rule to get up, get dressed and out of the house before noon. Made me feel better too.\n\nJust keep yourself busy. If you don't have a job, get one.

One really powerful primary source about Iraq and Afghanistan is the Sandbox blog on the Doonesbury website.  Every day there are a couple posts by soldiers involved over there.  There is a range of content, but it gives you the sense that there really are good people working hard to improve the lives of Iraqis even though there is also a lot of disastrous stuff happening.  It might open their eyes a little.  I think they'll find glimpses of the good side there, regardless of their politics.
