watab kid Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 twas an interesting moment in time and well worth remembering , up here we remember another armistice day as well , the one that started as a beautiful day and turned ugly with a blizzard that killed a lot of hunters - has little to do with veterans except a lot of those killed were veterans , some might have been future veterans https://www.google.com/search?q=armistice+day+minnesota+blizzard&rlz=1C1SNNT_enUS796US833&oq=armistice+day+minnesota+blizzard+&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i22i30l2j0i15i22i30j0i390l2.19442j1j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixgun Sheridan Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 The guns fell silent in Europe only for the sound to be immediately picked up again in Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 That recording, the first time I heard it, sent shivers down my spine. Now when I hear it I think “See, man and his actions cannot truly stop the nature of things” I have often wondered how many were killed or wounded in the span of that particular recording and how messed up it would be to have gone through that war without a scratch only to be shot a minute before the planned armistice. Also, that recording brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
