Reclaiming Armistice Day

Celebrating Veteran’s Day American-style means celebrating war and the people who wage it. It’s who we are. It’s what we export. Should we even be celebrating Veteran’s Day? I mean, was there some sort of mix up along the way? Didn’t we miss something that was supposed to happen on the 11th?

On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918, fighting stopped in the war to end all war. A war that left approximately 17 million dead and another 20 million wounded. Congress passed Armistice Day, a resolution calling for “exercises dedicated to perpetuate peace through good will and mutual understanding, inviting the people of the United States to observe the day in schools and churches with appropriate ceremonies and friendly relations with all other peoples.”
