Subject: RE: BS: Armistice Day - not monitored
"Armistice Day" literally means "the day the fighting stopped". A good name for it - sadly one that turned out over-optimistic. Using it should be a reaffirmatiion of a hope that someday it will be reality.

And we should be remembering all those who died, who increasingly, in the wars we have continued have been ever more proportionately civilians. And still are today.
