Wrong time zone but, a bell tolls for thee - on the 11th Hour of the 11th Day on the 11th Month.

Armistice Day

To all my Brothers, Savor the Day.

Yeah, even the busted-up old warhorse FOGs - look, I know we shoulda bought the extended maintenance warranty but how the hell did we know?

Armistice Day
Hope everyone had a serene Armistice Day!

I finally saw They Shall Never Grow Old.
That is a harrowingly solid one about the war to end all wars, which culminated on 11/11/1918. It covers partial history from Jackon's perspective, but still solid nonetheless on the 'mad minute' and its toll.
