On Nov. 11, 1918, after more than four years of horrific fighting and the loss of millions of lives, the guns on the Western Front fell silent. Although fighting continued elsewhere, the armistice between Germany and the Allies was the first step to ending World War I. The global reaction was one of mixed emotions: relief, celebration, disbelief and a profound sense of loss.
Today we are reminded of the armistice, of the sacrifice, of the terror and fear they must have felt, but we will remember them every day!
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not worry them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
Thank you to those who serve and those who served!
