Happy Veterans Day U.S.A. – 2015

Wikipedia

Today is the day we remember and honor the end of wars and the signing of peace treaties. This is the day we thank and honor our veterans for serving in wars (appreciated and unappreciated) to protect the ideals of this country…We also get a day off work (some of us).

To everyone else around the world, I wish you a good day and hope that your country also recognizes a day such as this.

Today is Patriot Day U.S.A. 2015

Today is a day to remember the attacks on September 11, 2001. Do you remember where you were when it happened? Have you lost someone to this great tragedy? My heart goes out to all people of the world who’ve been affected by acts of terrorism. Maybe one day we’ll live in a world where our differences aren’t a reason for war.

Happy Labor Day U.S.A. 2015

Wikipedia

Today we honor the laborers, or maybe the labor associations, or maybe the contributions of laborers to the economic system…huh…well, at least I get to eat hot dogs and watch fireworks.

Seriously, I know why, as a nation, we started celebrating Labor Day, but in all honesty, it’s the mark of summer’s end now. I do make an effort to reflect on the true purpose of this holiday, but right now, I’m so preoccupied with the last of my summer vacation.

To everyone else in the world, I hope you’re having a wonderful day and are enjoying the end of your summer or winter, depending on where you are. 😉
