The Armistice to end the "war to end all wars" was signed at the 11th Hour
of the 11th Day of the 11th Month. It is at that time the Commonwealth
countries take two minutes to pay their respects.
Here's a link to a moving song that sums up the importance of remembering
these courageous men and women.

Also of interest. There are only 10 survivors of the First World War still
alive, the youngest is 107.

My thanks to all that have served their countries.
Regards,
Joel

Hey guys and gals,
I want to take a moment to say THANKS to everyone who ever served in the
armed services of their country... it was 90 years ago today that the Treaty
of
Versailles was officially signed putting an end to the "War to End All
Wars"... 'tis a shame it didn't....
Armistice Day was later called Veteran's Day, to honor all who served, in
war and peace, whether they came back or not.
I know there are many men and women on this list who have served, and
continue to serve, our great nation. There are also those whom have served
their
country and are our allies, such as our cousins in the Great White North as
well as those across the pond into Europe... Some may not have considered
it a
great sacrifice, but I, for one, am very grateful for your honor and
courage. So if you, or your loved one, are in the service, thank you and may
God
bless you. If you or your loved one is deployed overseas, my prayers are
for a
safe return home...
I'll be driving my 64 sedan around tomorrow, since I have my "POW/MIA"
sticker on it, as well as my veteran plate... doing my part to say thanks.
If I can shake this nasty sinus infection/bronchitis/yucky crap I have, I
might even make it to the Louisville Corvair club meeting this evening...
Thanks again! Lonzo .... US Army 1985-88
