 Hey, everybody on video. It's Veterans Day and that means I give everybody the day off except myself and We're not gonna have a full show not really even gonna have much of a show. I'm gonna record something though Just to tell folks what's going on. So It Here it goes This is the Daily Tech news show for Friday, November 11th, 2016 I'm Tom Merritt folks at the day off here in Daily Tech news show land I I like to give folks the Veterans Day off So that we can respect the holidays that are given to us, but we're not gonna have a full show We do have a full Daily Tech headlines show if you'd like the Daily Tech headlines They'll be in the Daily Tech headlines feed Daily Tech headlines.com go check that out and subscribe if you haven't already I I do have a couple of things that I want to mention today Just just a short version and we'll be back with the full show on Monday First of all and I've done this before on Veterans Day. I don't like to get over dramatic about it but November 11th in At the 11th hour is when World War one ended and that is why I remember its day and Veterans Day here in the United States Are celebrated at this time that was supposed to be the war to end all wars and as we know That hasn't happened So I like to think of today as a day to thank the people In our military Who are still working to end wars? I know some of you probably don't love the military or the end and certainly not the idea of war But you should know that most of the people I've ever met in the military also do not like The idea of war and so if we all can agree on that then Maybe we can find that common ground to eventually get to a world someday that has no war Very thankfully we have not seen a war like World War two Since the middle of that century. I hope the memory of that is not fading and I hope that we can work Towards a world that continues to not see conflict on that scale. So take today and Thank the folks that you know and your family your friends For doing their best to protect People not just this country, but our military Does a good job just protecting human beings not a perfect job But again, the people I know are very concerned with protecting humanity. So thank them for that And not just the military. I know it's Veterans Day But thank your police your fire department your EMTs Your your medical practitioner your nurses your doctors This is a day to recognize service of those who who help us out and and I hope I Hope that don't Especially in this week. I hope that isn't taken the wrong way by people.
