Here we are, the first day of November. Where does the time go?
There are a number of veteran and military-related holidays, events, and observances in November:
National Veterans & Military Family Month
Warrior Care Month
National Family Caregivers Month (includes those who care for veterans living with illness or injury resulting from military service)
National Veterans Small Business Week–29 October – 2 November
Marine Corps Day/Birthday–10 November
Veterans Day–11 November
Armistice/Remembrance Day–11 November
Thanksgiving Day, the fourth Thursday in November, on 28 November this year.
A number of U.S. veterans are buried in Zion Chatt’s cemetery. Three served in WWI, five served in WWII, and one served in Vietnam. Most served in the U.S. Army, but two served in the U.S. Navy. Most have flagstaffs, but three do not, George Eckrote, Paul Eichler, and Oscar Heffner.

Lastly, since this is the first of November, in a couple days we get to catch up on that hour of sleep we lost last Spring. Don’t forget to set your clocks back early Sunday morning.

Thank you to all who have served and are serving currently. May they be blessed and protected with God’s mercy and grace. May we not forget them regardless of the date on the calendar.
A wonderful post honoring veterans, including those photos of decorated graves.
