I feel a little guilty for not making it out to the Dilboy VFW for the city's veteran's day thing, after the city seemed to be pushing it so hard. I'd been thinking of heading over for it - It's been a while since I've got to listen to various local pols expounding on things and being all politiciany.

Only in America: Every year, the WWE World Wrestling folks have a Tribute to the Troops wrestling show, where the wrestlers go do visits and then beat each other up for the amusement of the troops.
