Observing Armistace/Remembrance/Veterans Day
On November 11, 1918, Private Henry Gunther was killed storming a German machine gun blockade one minute before the armistace that ended World War I. He was the last soldier known to die in combat before the end of "the war to end all war."
Panel from Booster Gold, Vol. 2, #16
It is in memory of Private Gunther and every other soldier that we now set aside November 11 as a day of remembrance for the sacrifice soldiers have made on behalf of their countries.
If you know a veteran, take the time today to thank them for their service.
