Eleventh Hour, Eleventh Day, Eleventh Month...

... marked the ceasefire that brought World War I to an end (on the Western Front anyway) in 1918. Armistice Day (or Remembrance Day) turned into Veterans Day in the United States when we pause to remember all those who served in our country's military, in whatever capacity, during whatever era. Since I don't want to make a mistake in identifying a branch of service or rank or anything, I'll just post a few of the soldier photos that we've received. I know there are others, particularly from the younger generations, who have served as well, but we don't have their pictures just yet.  Nonetheless, our pride and gratefulness to all military service men and women and their families remain steadfast.
