Happy November, Wildkits! The month of November brings with it two big national holidays -- Thanksgiving, of course (Mrs. Chadwick's favorite), and Veterans Day. Normally we'd like to feature books about both holidays, but since novels about Thanksgiving are very few and far between, we'll instead turn our focus to Veterans Day... Per Wikipedia: Veterans Day is an official United States holiday honoring armed service veterans. It is a federal holiday that is observed on November 11. It coincides with other holidays such as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day, which are celebrated in other parts of the world and also mark the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. (Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice.) Below you'll find a list of novels about warfare and American war veterans:
