That silly First Amendment is quite old anyhow....

Ann Wright | Veterans Day: A Day for Peace or for
War?

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/111307R.shtml

Truthout contributor Ann Wright asks, "Could you
ever imagine that Veterans Day was originally
enacted as a day for world peace? Not by the way
veterans who stand for peace are treated in Veterans
Day ceremonies! Yet, according to the Veterans
Affairs web site, Veterans Day, formerly known as
Armistice Day, was originally a US legal holiday
to honor the end of World War I and to honor the
need for world peace."
