It seems we have confused Veteran's Day with Memorial Day. Veteran's Day honors ALL veterans, living or dead, still serving, discharged or retired. While we should certainly honor our fallen comrades as well, lets not forget those among us who took time from their lives to serve their counrty honorably, whether for a single tour of duty, or for a career. Find a Vet today and thank him/her for your freedom.

Don't forget that today, Nov. 10 is the birthday of the Marine Corps.

Daily Horoscope for January 2

Capricorn

Self deception will be the main issue today. You may be judging your situation wrongly: don't hold back, say what you think diplomatically and without being hurtful. This should result in a positive mental outlook for you. Competitive sports activity will ease any stress or tension.
