the most memorable thing about my birth date (other than me, of course! Hehehehe!) is that it is Armistice Day...11th November.

And that Colonel David Hackworth shared the same date. He was the most highly decorated US soldier. He died in May 2005. I was fortunate enough to get to know him and become a friend when he lived here in Aus for a few years. Incredible person. He was laid to rest at Arlington.
