I celebrate it as if it were still considered armistice day. Rather than thank veterans for sacrifices (all people make sacrifices in this world, I don't consider sacrifice a virtue, it is just the natural law of trading something for something else), I think I'd rather thank those veterans (and non-veterans) who chose (and continue to choose) to minimize destruction so that conflict and aggression might be resolved in peaceful, voluntary, and cost-effective means. Anyway, my point is that I acknowledge people for their individual accomplishments, not their decisions to partake in high opportunity costs, nevertheless I like the concept of armistice day, so I celebrate what it means to avoid destructive conflict when it is necessary.
