Today is Veterans Day, which is known outside the United States as Armistice Day, since it marks the date in 1918 on which World War I was officially concluded. In Poland, today is Independence Day, because on that same date, a new independent Poland was created, after the Poles had been ruled for over a century by Russia, Austria and Prussia (which united with other states to form the German Empire), which had started with the partitions. To all American veterans, thank you for your service and for keeping us free. To the people of Poland and those of Polish descent elsewhere, wesołego Święta Niepodległości.
