The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

"The War To End All Wars" Ends and Veterans Day Today
On this date, at 11 a.m., the guns along the Western Front ceased firing, marking the end of "The War To End All Wars." Sadly, this was not the last war.
But, anyway, the bloodiest war in the annals of human history ended and everyone was happy.
Today, we still commemorate Armistice Day, though we call it Veterans Day.
In a short time, Liz and I will be going to the train station in Fox Lake, Illinois, for the observance of this special day.
If You See a Vet Today, Definitely Thank Them.
