Free agents that is. This is the latest compilation of names. Players have until Veterans Day to file. Those who are unclear on punctuation have until Veteran's Day. Why don't we just go back to Armistice Day?
I do always try for a moment of silence at 11 AM on Armistice Day. Although I do prefer "Armistice Day" to "Veteran's", the South African "Poppy Day" is pretty evocatively cool.
"In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below."

"In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below."
