EIGHT YEARS OF PEACE
As suddenly as they began the cannons' hellish roar was stilled the flames of hate and
fury were quenched and the blood red clouds of the most titanic struggle the world has ever
known rolled away. -
November the Eleventh is Armistice Day the birthday of universal peace.
Let us celebrate this day in a fitting way, let us rejoice, but let us not forget our fallen
sons who gave their all, that you and I might live in peace, harmony and happiness.
