a day to remember

 Happy Armistice Day or Happy Veterans Day.  That's what my west coast brother texted me earlier today.  But it makes me feel a little uncomfortable.  I mean it is a serious day of remembrance, right?  On the other hand, if you're a veteran, like my brother, that means you survived your time in the military.  That certainly seems like something to celebrate to me.  Plus, lots of restaurants around town give free meals to veterans today.  So happy Veterans Day to all of you fortunate survivors.  My brother also told me that Typhoid Mary died on this date in 1938.  Historically interesting but somehow, in this time of pandemic, I can't find any humor in that.
