A once-in-a-lifetime occurrence, 11/11/2011 had been deemed by the Chinese as the luckiest day to get married.  For them, it’s the best day to leave the single life behind.

In the U.S., 11/11 is Veteran’s Day – a national holiday.  It was President Woodrow   Wilson who proclaimed this holiday on November 12, 1919 to celebrate the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I.

It’s merely coincidental that holiday is on its 92nd year of celebration in 2011.  The sum of 9 and 2 also yields 11.

For this author, 11/11/11 is the luckiest day in his lifetime.  He gets all the 11s and a 6.

This author salutes all the war veterans – as well as all the newly weds – on this special, once-in-a-lifetime date!!!
