History: On this day, in the year of 1918, the Allied and German Delegations had signed The Armistice, unofficially ending The Great War that raged across Europe. It was at 11:11 AM to be precise. The Armistice was not a formal surrender, but rather a deal to terminate any hostilities made throughout the war. It was after that moment that the bullets finally stopped flying. The storm finally calmed down, but it was a year later that the official end would come. This is the holiday meant to honor all soldiers, fallen and alive, who served in the military at times of chaos. It honors not only soldiers during the 1910's, but everyone, from different times. We thank those who lived, and honor those who did not. May we remember what they have served for as generations pass.
I used Google for the information and the flags.
