I salute you all ... Andy "rememberin' all the WAR stories at the Harry Condon Post #11" Lisko Thank you, Andy Let's all pause at the eleventh hour this morning to reflect on the 93-year observance of the event that lead to the creation of Veteran's Day (Armistice Day). The treaty to end the Great War (WWI) was signed to take effect in the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918. Sadly, there were more casualties between the signing and the eleveth hour...... Originally known as "Remembrance Day," after WWII it was changed to Veteran's Day.....just as May 30 (traditional), now Memorial Day, was declared to be Decoration Day for decorating the graves of Civil War soldiers. My prayer this morning is that we no longer need to keep adding Remembrance Days like December 7 and September 11. Enough is enough.
