Americans are commemorating Veterans Day and recalling its beginning as Armistice Day, marking the guns of World War I falling silent on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918. Over a century later, smoking — of tobacco, anyway — is out of fashion. The Sun supplying Doughboys with the divine herb, as tobacco was known, is a reminder of the affection Americans have for those who wear the uniform.
