Good morning, VETERANS DAY / ARMISTICE DAY Today is Veterans Day, commemorating the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, when The Great War (what World War I was referred to before we began numbering these human calamities) ended in 1918. The Treaty of Versailles ended the war and led toward the peace that was so retributory to Germany as to make the ground rich for the rise of Hitler. Compare and contrast to the handling of Germany after World War II. Retribution doesn’t work; magnanimity does.
