Walt Kelly and his friends Pogo and Porkypine still say it best:

"Y'know, it seems to be me this is all backwards....

We, Ever'body, ought to keep our big mouths shut all the

whole year long so's we'd have time to think of two minutes worth of

somethin' to say on the eleventh day of November."

At the exact moment I realized it was 11 o'clock and paused in my work, I started to hear loud aircraft engines. I stood at my office window and in the next moment, saw a missing-man formation of bomber aircraft pass by overhead, heading for the cenotaph at city hall. I'm glad they did that.
