Greetings Cascadia! This is Crystal, in for Steve with the KBOO Community Calendar for Wednesday, November 11th, 2009.
------------------------
As you know, today is Armistice Day: The Day of Peace. Mercifully it was agreed in 1918 that the Great War, the First World War, the "War to end all wars", would end on the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh month. Traditionally, two minutes of silence are observed at this eleventh minute. Please join with members of the Portland chapter of Veterans for Peace and many others to observe this Day of Peace in the Pioneer Courthouse Square.
