Ted Fiskevold (65? Do the math, please) wrote Sun 11/11/18 @11:11 CST:
I was born on the last Armistice Day ('53). My first birthday was on
the first Veterans Day ('54).
So: Did you have a birthday this year? Veterans Day this year was No-
vember 12 because of the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, which became
law in 1971, as November 11 fell on Sunday. November 11 fell on Sun-
day also in 1979, 1984, 1990, 2001, 2007 and 2012, pushing Veterans
Day to Monday. Before passage of the act, in 1956 and 1962 Veterans
Day was observed on Monday, November 12, and in 1961 and 1967 on
Friday, November 10. And in 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976 and
1977, Veterans Day was observed on the last Monday in October. So
you may have lost 18 birthdays over the years, meaning that you are yet
only 47 now.
But, then, according to our late Aunt Janet, who was an English teacher,
you have had (and everyone else has had) only one "birthday" – the day
you were born. The others are "birthday anniversaries." So, how old
does that leave you?
