Today at the eleventh hour at the eleventh minute of November 11, 1918. The Great War or World War I ended being the most deadly and the most costly war of its day. From 1914-1918 millions of men had died, either from the bullet, disease, or they succumbed to their wounds. It transformed of what was the horror of war, it was the first time we notice the psychological wound that would be label Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and it was the first time we used chemical warfare.
But on this day here in America, we honor those who have given the greatest sacrifice for our country. Though we have another one, Memorial Day, that honors the men and women of our armed forces. We as Americans don't really think about the war, we don't think about the day to day sacrifices of the troops and their families.
But I want to thank all Veterans both this country and of our Allies, for fighting for the rights of humanity.
Puff you later.
