“The exact cause of pancreatic cancer is still unknown, but there are known risk factors that increase the risk of developing the disease. Cigarette smoking, a family history of pancreatic cancer or hereditary cancer syndromes, and chronic pancreatitis are some of these factors. The most common form of pancreatic cancer is pancreatic adeno-carcinoma, an exocrine tumor arising from the cells lining the pancreatic duct.”

“To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…”
Former President Wilson 1919 (who commemorated the first Armistice Day with these words)
The day was originally set aside to honor the Veterans of World War I with a day of parades and remembrances as well as a pause in activities at 11am on the day.
Happy Veteran’s Day! Thank you all veteran’s who have helped us in the past and soldiers today who are now keeping our country safe. You are all a blessing for America!
