This is a great tribute to Bob Kalsu, and I really do appreciate this!
Just to note, Veterans Day is to celebrate the living servicemembers who have served this nation and it often mixed up with Memorial Day, which is to memorialize those servicemembers no longer with us.
For Canadians, the UK, Australia, New Zealand and others, it is Remembrance Day because World War I ended on this day and so many of their servicemembers were lost and wear a poppy for it, including my great uncle.
