This is one of those rare moments, the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of the eleventh day in the year “11″ (2011) that makes extra special this original commemoration of Armistice Day and the additional recognition for military veterans.
Let’s observe a moment of silence at this time for our servicemen and servicewomen who have done, and are doing, their duty for our country.
Also, please review the US Department of Veterans Affairs site that has interesting tidbits about this holiday.

In case you’re just tuning in…
Welcome!
Premiering tonight is a new CBS drama called Person of Interest, which brings JJ Abrams back to nighttime TV once again. Immediately, I was struck with its premise sounding hauntingly familiar.
Lessee… A guy who has unique talents, fairly communicative, is being positioned in place and time to intercede on the behalf of victims, aided by another guy who has access to various tidbits of information that is not always 100% reliable due to circumstance or gaps.
Ah-ha! Quantum Leap!
Yes, it’s not just time/space travel anymore, and there’s that personal anonymity instead of body-switching, and yes, it’s definitely got that grittier feel that makes it more up-to-date than a show from the 1989-1993 (as opposed to merely a remake of Quantum Leap, ‘natch). But all of the essentials are apparently intact between the two shows. And like Quantum Leap, it’s one of those shows that, despite the extra twists and turns, there is both a familiarity and coziness to match the curious teases and fuzziness… This is what makes Person of Interest fun to watch. Let’s see how far this journey will take us.
