Hrmistice Day
ineteen years ago Today, November 11 at 11 o’clock the guns were silenced and a war weary
world gave thanks to God that the fighting was over. Today we celebrate that Armistice. We
honor those boys who made the Supreme sacrifice that we might maintin our integrity
among all nations. We honor those gassed and wounded and all who helped make the “World
Safe for Democracy.” It is no fault of those who fought under the Starsand Stripes that the
world is in the mess it is today, so we gather together all over the land to honor and pay tribute
to those v.ho gave their all, to those who are disabled and to those who came back with a prayer
of thankfulness for Armistice Day.
