On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, the armistice signed by the Allied nations and Germany went into effect, ceasing hostilities in 1918 during the Great War. It's a memorable collection of 11's to help remember the importance of this date, and I admit, it's surprising how many people don't realize the historical significance of the date. While we should never forget the sacrifices of those who gave their lives during World War I, nor those who continue to take up arms in defense of their nations today, it's important to realize why Veteran's Day is also known as Armistice or Remembrance Day. It's a day shared by the world.
