This Day in History....

Adrian - you got me started and since this is a special day on two fronts, I have to at least put a few in.

1918 - At the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, the World War I ends. November 11th was initially set aside to celebrate Armistice Day, however President Dwight Eisenhower signed it into law on May 26, 1954 as a day to honor all veterans.

1921 - Three years after the end of World War I, the Tomb of the Unknowns is dedicated at Arlington Cemetery in Virginia during an Armistice Day ceremony presided over by then President Warren G. Harding.

1967 - Viet Cong releases U.S. POWs

1942 - The Draft age is lowered to 18

Why all this war stuff on this day? Who knows, but it may have been a warning sign for all Edison Elementary teachers of things to come, as a "little" 8lb 15oz boy born TWENTY ONE YEARS AGO in 1988. Have fun and don't end up on the 6:00 news.
