...I realize this might get kind of old, coming from me -- and that a lot of you aren't from a universe like mine. I might have ruffled some feathers last time I made an entry like this, and I apologize. But this is important, and it might be in your universes, too.

Anyway, today is Armistice Day. I think it's called Veterans' Day, now, and it's a day to thank and honor people who've served in wars. So -- well, thanks, to anyone on this boat who's done that. Your service -- and sometimes, your sacrifice -- is definitely appreciated.

They got a holiday for that, huh? That, uh, worldwide or just the U.S. of America? [Considering that some holidays are celebrated by single towns and some by approximately half the universe, the difference is notable to Mal.]

I don't light no candles or say my prayers, but I'm just gonna say, good of you to honor them that served. Least we owe to 'em.

Worldwide, as far as I know. It's the day when the first world war ended.

You don't need to. I'm sure half the guys I knew wouldn't want prayers or candles, anyway.

That's not the one you fought in, right?

Yeah, that kinda thing's best left to a soldier's ma.

No, my father did. It ended just after I was born.

Definitely.
