#November 11th-

#VeteransDay Was Originally #ArmisticeDay

#ArmisticeDay began in 1918 to celebrate The Day World Leaders Came Together To End #WWI- The 'War To End All Wars'- And The Idea Of Ending All #War

"Over one hundred years ago the world celebrated #peace as a universal principle. #WWI had just ended and nations mourning their dead collectively called for an end to all #wars.  #ArmisticeDay was born and was designated as “a day to be dedicated to the cause...
... of world #peace and to be thereafter celebrated." After #WorldWarII, the U.S. Congress decided to rebrand #November11 as #VeteransDay. Honoring the warrior quickly morphed into honoring the #military and glorifying #war. #ArmisticeDay was flipped from a day for #peace into...
... into a day for displays of #militarism. #VeteransForPeace has taken the lead in lifting up the original intention of #November11th- as a day for #peace. As #veterans we know that a day that celebrates peace, not war, is the best way to honor the sacrifices of veterans. ...
... We want generations after us to never know the destruction #war has wrought on people and the earth."

@VFPNational will ring 11 bells this year to remember #ArmisticeDay

Is Ivanka Trump The New Face Of Privilege And Global Suffering, In Places Like The U.S. And India?
