  7. 10 things you might not know about losers

    We're at a loss to explain two things: Why JPMorgan Chase took a $2 billion bath on risky trades, and how the <a href="http://chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs">Chicago Cubs</a> can maintain such futility, holding the worst record in the National League.

For those that commemorate the holiday with solemn remembrances of Our war-dead this is mostly confined to wars of the last 75 years: WW II, Korea, Vietnam and most recently Iraq &amp; Afghanistan. While these wars certainly deserve their well earned, somber Memorials they are not exclusive.
