Thinking about my ancestor. Same exact name, same hometown. Torpedoed on the SS Normandy, January 1918.

:salute: to all

Will be heading out to the memorial in a bit.

oops,

11/11 is a memorial day for you guys?
For us it's the start of the 'carnaval' season (fun, music, beer, laughter etc).
So I apologize, I thought that this was the occasion the OP was referring too (hence my now strange looking reply).

^Father's Day here. :yep:

:/\\!! End of WWI, been wondering about the date

Two more years and it'll be a century since it all began.

All of our WWI veterans have since passed on, are there any still left in other nations?

EDIT: A quick google search answers my question, it would seem that the answer is no, although there are no entries for four nations, so there might be survivors there but one would have thought they'd have come forth by now.

You know back then in minoan times, on Crete ..

If we would remember each and every day something important or just wars happened or ended, 365 days a year would not be enough.

And only a six hour drive to where it all began :hmmm:

hit me. what happened on 11/11 on Crete in minoan times?

You really don't know how lucky you are, don't you

We are today 1 year after 11.11.11 the day our world was coming to an end as we know it.
