Aww. I love Steve/Tony and this was good stuff.

Thank you, Faith! :)

I'd weird though to even consider this date. TBH, in Europe, we don't really think about it much. For us, September 1st is more significant but the only date we pay particular attention to is November 11th.

Not so surprising! September 1st was when World War II started in Europe, and November 11th is the last day of World War I.

We observe November 11th here as Veterans' Day (also known as Armistice Day) and also observe Memorial Day, once upon a time observed always on May 30th (my sister's birthday!) but now on a Monday closest to that date. Memorial Day grew out of the American Civil War and the decoration of solder's graves after that conflict. It's also known as Decoration Day in the American South.

And, naturally, December 7th has been a big date here because it brought us into the War. Not all the calendars you can buy here have it marked, but you'd be surprised by how many do have 'Pearl Harbor Day' listed.

It's good to get a different perspective now and then.

Absolutely! I like to get different perspectives, too. :)
