WORLDWIDE - “World War I – known at the time as “The Great War” - officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles outside the town of Versailles, France. However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.”

11-11-11 – and this is a prayer that all wars will end. Thank you to everyone who has served in the Armed Forces, they have given tastes of freedom to those who so yearn for it.

Memorial

USA - They died wearing uniforms; I live wearing vibrant, sassy clothes. They died in remote locations; I live in my snug America. They died defending freedoms; I utilize freedom every second. They died away from their loved ones; I get to kiss mine every night. Thank you, U.S. Armed Forces, for what you've given me.
