EDITORIAL
Honoring veterans each November The following was published in the Record-Journal on Nov. 11, 2013: At the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918, an armistice went into effect, ending The Great War between the Allied Powers (predominantly Great Britain, France,
Russia, Italy and the United States) and the Central Powers (Germany, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria). In 1926, the United States Congress called upon the nation to mark, each Nov. 11, “the cessation of the most destructive, sanguinary, and far reaching war in
human annals and the resumption by the people of the United States of peaceful relations with other nations, which we hope may never again be severed ...” In other words, Armistice Day was created mainly as a day to celebrate the peace and hope that it would last.
It didn’t. “The war to end all wars” would turn out to be just a prelude to World War II – the biggest, most destructive war in human history – and to the many regional wars that have followed it. See Veterans, A2
