On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, 1918, the Great War (World War 1) ended. The armistice was signed. The killing stopped. This was the war to end all wars. In 1938 the day became a legal holiday dedicated to world peace. In 1954, after WW 11, the day became Veterans Day to give thanks for those who serve in all wars. My father served in the Great War, many many cousins served in WW 11. My son has served in the National Guard. May we, in this time of global conflicts, dedicate ourselves to work for world peace.
