More on Veterans Day - JFK, also myHim

John F. Kennedy
Proclamation 3557 - Veterans Day, 1963

By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
[.....
WHEREAS this day (November 11) has an important dual significance in that it gives each one of us an opportunity both to honor the dedicated men and women of all races and religious beliefs who have honorably served in our armed forces in time of war, and to reemphasize our determination to achieve world peace with patience, perseverance, and courage...]

Dual significiance because November 11 was originally proclaimed as Armistice Day. Armistice Day is (was) the anniversary of the symbolic end of World War I on 11 November 1918. It commemorates the armistice signed between the Allies and Germany at Rethondes, France, for the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front, which took effect at eleven o'clock in the morning — the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month". It was to be the war that ended all wars.

MyHim and I had a conversation last night...I suggested that as long as there is excess testosterone there will be War...Him thought for a minute and said maybe War was more caused by lack of testosterone than too much. .... hmmm :o)
Peace
