It is fitting on 11 November to mark the armistice for the cessation of hostilities signed between the Allies of World War I and Germany, which took effect at eleven o'clock in the morning; the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" of 1918. November 11, Veteran's Day, remains a day to reflect on how we can achieve peace as it was originally observed. It is fitting to mark the 100th anniversary of "the war to end all wars" and to perpetuate the memory of those who served in the First World Ward and veterans of all subsequent wars for their service and sacrifices.
