11-11-11-18
102 years ago today at the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918, the guns fell silent on the battlefields and front lines as the Armistice was signed and the "Great War" ended. There were 20 million deaths and 21 million wounded in the four year conflict. For many years the November 11th was celebrated as Armistice Day and the end of World War I.
Unfortunately, the peace in Europe would only last about 21 years, until a new threat would spark a new, but more deadly world war.
Today, we celebrate this day as Veterans Day. Too all who served in our armed forces, I tip my hat and give you a heart felt, "THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR NATION." May God Bless America
