Armistice Day


On the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918, World War I ended. The year after, this nation observed Armistice Day. Over the years, this day has evolved into Veteran's Day where we salute all of those who have served in our armed forces. I want to take a moment to thank all of those who have served and are serving currently.

Our Canadian friends annually observe Remembrance Day by donning poppies. I think it's a fine tradition and thank James Mirtle for providing the link to the picture seen here. It is provided by the Canadian Legion.

In the spirit of Armistice Day, I offer a special thank you to the few remaining who served in The Great War. Their numbers are now few, but their effort remains immeasurable.
