Looked at the calendar and it says today is Armed Forces Day.  I find it strange that there has been no mention of this in newspapers, or on radio or TV that I’ve seen or heard…especially here in the Washington DC area.  Maybe I missed something or my calendar is wrong? 

Nope, checked it out and today is indeed the day. Armed Forces Day is celebrated every year on the third Saturday in May.

So, here’s a “BIG THANKS” to all those who have served in the past and are currently serving our country from an old veteran.
