Veterans Day 11/11/11

Veterans Day is celebrated on November 11th to symbolically tie it to the Armistice that ended World War One, which was signed by Germany in 1918 on the 11th day of the 11th month at 11 AM. 

So this year on the 11th day of the 11th month of the year 2011, Laura, Leslie, Baby Olivia and I "ran" a 5K to support the Fisher House in Gainesville. The Fisher House provides support for the families of wounded or ill veterans by giving them a place to stay during their loved ones hospitalization. Our veterans give so much of themselves to our country, it's nice to support an organization that helps our country to give back, even just a little bit.

Please also note that my race number adds up to 11.  This is poetry in action people.
