And me, for what it's worth, I honored the vets by just remembering and being bummed out all day.I'm not much of one for battle images or patriotic images, and somehow I think a mouse in a uniform would just trivialize the whole event.

Given the fact that, as you mentioned, it's an international group, and many here are too young to remember Vietnam, much less WWII and Pearl Harbor, I'm not surprised that there wasn't much of a tribute.

But, take heart, it doesn't mean that there aren't those of us out there who care. There are ... some of us just express it differently ... my art tends to be more animal centric and is an escape for me so I can get away from the awfulness in my life. (Of which there is plenty.)

Could be worse, could be raining.
