11th Hour of the 11th Day . . .

 

In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson declared November 11 Armistice Day.  It marks the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month when the allied nations entered a cease-fire with Germany, bringing an unofficial end to World War I.

Please remember, freedom isn't free and never take our freedom for granted!!!  Take a moment and thank a veteran today.  May God bless our soldiers.


Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊

I thought I commented yesterday, but guess not. Sadly our veterans who have seen the atrocities of war who may have all their limbs still have scars which we cannot see. I hope they get the help they need too.

Bob and I had the radio on that day listening to the remembrance day celebrations from our Canadian friends. We were driving and I decided to keep the channel on. It was a nice tribute to their veterans. Janice
