11 a.m. on November 11, 1918, in Compiègne, France—the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.

the war to end war's ended

and as in the from outer space thread

we are extremely close to that event fading to a pure paper/electronic event

in the next year or so all the worldwide veterans of the event will who could pass first hand knowledge will have left us

In our nation we honor all veterans but we should pay special attention to Frank Buckles
as he is the last man that stands between first hand memory and history

on the subject of veterans

we should all learn about a piece of first hand knowledge from each

(a) a person who has served in a military force

(b) a person who has had long service or experience in an occupation

doing so is good for our nation / business / family

I have had the privilege of hearing about many veterans experiences at the nursing home......and,,,,,,really,,,,,we have no idea...
it's difficult to put a picture to their words at times.....but very very interesting......my respect to them.....
