Several folks on the old blogroll and around the blogosphere also posted something for Armistice Day, or on related themes.
DarkBlack: "In Memory Forever." Canada still does it right.
Evil Slutopia: "Veterans Day Roundup."
BagNewsNotes: One, two and three.
Mahablog: "It's Armistice Day."
Crooked Timber: "Armistice Day," by Australian John Quiggin.
Newshoggers: "Burial at Sea" (a powerful piece) "Veterans, Abortion and Right Wing Hypocrisy" and "Honoring the Fallen."
They Gave Us a Republic: "Why do they call it common sense when it's so damned rare?"
The Reaction: "Remembrance Day 2009."
skippy: "shanti."
Scholars & Rogues: "What's It Wednesday."
No More Mister Nice Blog: "The Earth Never Stands Still."
Lotus – Surviving a Dark Time: "Veterans Day, 2009."
Finally, there's dogs and soldiers. NPR radio show To the Point had a good installment, "Stress in the Military," covering psychiatric service dogs (see also the video in this PTSD post). If you need a pick-me-up, Mental Floss has a series of videos of dogs welcoming home soldiers.
This is completely random, but I went to high school with and played basketball against one of the creators of Mental Floss.
