On the eleventh day of November in the year 1918, a general armistice ended hostilities in World War I.   For many, this was a day for rejoicing for they would soon be reunited with their loved ones; for others this day was one of sadness--their loved ones were gone forever.

The price of freedom is dear and for that freedom, many had paid with their lives. For both the joyous and the sad, November 11, 1918 was a historical date for in the annals of the world, this day is recognized as a brief cessation of hostilities and a new beginning of peace and freedom for peoples the world over.

The peace was short lived. In the early Thirties, the rumbles of war could faintly be heard from the far corners of the world and in 1939, World War II was a stark reality, scarcely twenty years had elapsed and war talk could be heard in almost every gathering. 

Adolph Hitler had announced to the world that Germany was no longer bound to the agreements of the Versailles Treaty and the diplomats knew that there was war close at hand.

December 7, 1941 Japan struck Pearl Harbor and America was in the throes of World War II. These years are vivid in everyone's memory--the wounds have not healed and yet there is talk of World War III. Have we not yet learned our lesson?  Will we enter another struggle of death? Or do we have the intellect and foresight in sufficient abundance to protect our way of life without more bloodshed?
