Veterans' Day
Here's a story about my Grandpa, who was in the army during WWII. After paratrooping into France during the beginning of the Battle of the Bulge, his battalion was walking through abandoned villages in eastern France on Christmas Day. They found a house that had been left so recently that there was smoke coming from the chimney and food in the kitchen. Since they were resourceful soldiers, they went inside and had Christmas dinner together! And it was obviously quite a gourmet meal, since they were in France:)
