Hopefully you have plans to mark Veterans Day–originally and still technically Armistice Day, the day the fighting in World War I ceased.  If not, and you are close to Kansas City, you may wish to go to the National World War I Museum and Memorial, a most appropriate place to be on November 11.  Here is a link to the activities they are planning that weekend:
