“On the 11 hours of the 11th day of the 11th month of the year in 1918 an official armistice day, or cessation of hostilities was declared between the allied nations and Germany during WWI. In 1938 it became a federal Holiday in the U.S. After WWII and Korean War, it was officially declared “Veterans Day”.

COT
Galatians 5:1 “For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit to a yoke of slavery.” Just as we are free as Americans because of those who served, we are also even more free in Christ, as Christians, since he shed his blood on the cross for all our sins. Not a day should go by that we do not thank him, praise him, and honor him, just has he gave his life as a sacrifice for us to live free. Context of verse: Paul is talking to the Church in Galatia about walking by the spirit.
Moleskin
We slopped around like pigs in a sty in the sidewalk puddles and I thought a time or two we may lose a man or two to the 3 foot trenches of rain water.
