Notice the people that had the biggest beef with it too were from Missouri? Maybe they are mad that most of the MU lineup isn't even from MU perhaps? Of course its a metaphor. Kansas is the home of Veteran's Day as it was founded in Emporia. As for not being well received, there have been people on this forum guilty of that infraction themselves!
The history provided by the link below does not mention Emporia.
The History of Veterans Day KSNT 27 News out of Topeka mentioned that it was formerly known by another name and now everyone has followed Emporia's lead and celebrates Veteran's Day as what it is known today.
