YESTERDAY IN
HISTORY
The Allied powers
signed a ceasefire agreement with Germany at Rethondes, France, at 11:00 a.m.
on November 11, 1918, bringing the war now known as World War I to a close.
President Wilson
proclaimed the first Armistice Day the following year on November 11, 1919,
with these words:“To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be
filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s
service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from
which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to
show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations…” Originally,
the celebration included parades and public meetings following a two-minute
suspension of business at 11:00 a.m.
In honor of
Veterans’ Day, we would like to recognize the following people for their
service:
Coach Chris Bragg
Mr. Dwain Mickey
Mr. Bobby Moore
Dr. Harley
