Wednesday: Veteran's Day On the Eleventh day of the Eleventh month at the Eleventh hour, the Armistice was signed by the Allies and Germany. "In many parts of the world people take a two-minute moment of silence at 11:00 a.m. as a sign of respect for the roughly 20 million who died in the war." Wikipedia.com. We will also have a moment of silence and recite the pledge all together. http://www4.va.gov/kids/
