By common agreement on that day at 11.00 AM the guns fell silent. 11/11/18
Back in the days when I wore this hat
I thought of it as 'Veteran's day.' Most years Armistice Day does not coincide with Veteran's day. That year it did.
It was a holiday and I walked downtown.
I got a history lesson I will never forget. I know better now.
The platz in front of the Munster was full of somber people in every manner of uniform.
This is not just an American holiday.
Teh wiki article is in need of NPOV but the facts are clear. The Armistice spread at the speed of train. Mention is made of the last to die in various places. My relative, Frank, and his wife got their tickets punched for Arlington this year. He was lucky and lived the longest.
