Today America celebrates
Veteran's Day - the trans-Atlantic translation of Remembrance Day. Although, it appears more as a recognition of war veterans rather than the mourning of lost soldiers, the focus of the British equivalent. There's
an article on the Times' website calling for submissions for potential national mottoes for Great Britain. As one would expect, there's the usual blend of sublime and ridiculous, but it provides amusing reading nonetheless. It's good though to see a relatively small number of angst-ridden propositions, indicating a climb in national pride - perhaps succeeding our remembrance.
