My next scheduled hair cut is on Nov. 11th @ 11:00 a.m.
I asked the lady who cuts my hair if she knew what that exact month/day/time meant in history? She returned a bland stare with a NO.
Armistice Day. It was the last day and minute of WWI, all quiet on the western front.
“At the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, the Great War ends. At 5 a.m. that morning, Germany, bereft of manpower and supplies and faced with imminent invasion, signed an armistice agreement with the Allies in a railroad car outside Compiégne, France.” History Channel
I found the timing very interesting and how few knew what it meant a bit surprising.
I’m sure many more on this board knew the answer without prompting.
A most important day and event in the history of the ages.
I would have waited till November but the board will not be operable at that time, so it's today.
