Coming soon.
It originally commemorated the Armistice on the 11th hour of the 11th Day of the 11th Month that concluded the Great World War ( 1 wasn't added until WW 2 occurred)
Powerful song and powerful message. Thanks to the gentleman that put this together.

Doggone it. Kinda misty in here. My greatest thanks to all of our service personnel, past, present, and future. And personally to my father, his soul rests knowing he made this country a better place for us all. Thank a veteran today.
That is a pretty good song to have been written in 10 min.
Thanks for posting MagicMan; a very timely reminder.
Tomorrow, at eleven after eleven AM I'll be saying a quiet but sincere thanks to relatives both older and long deceased, as well as younger family members in uniform. Their sacrifice and dedication is an inspiration to us all.

CustomSawyer - I agree with you that the song is a beautiful piece of work for a ten minute effort. However when I see the talent that JP Cormier has with a guitar (check out his other YouTube clips) and a background that probably includes some PTSD related pain - I'll bet that he's been thinking on it for quite some time . . . .
And who knows, he might say the same thing about you and the MagicMan after you've sliced through ten minutes worth of SYP or Georgia hardwoods.
Hmmmmm, pretty good work for ten minutes effort . . .
I want to thank all of the Veterans on the FF for their service.
Thank you to all veterans!!
Had four fighters fly over in formation just after 11, I believe Spitfires. Really neat to see.
I observed two minutes of silence, I couldn't help but reflect on the broken men and women I knew growing up in the fifties and sixties. Parents and grand parents of my school mates. Alcoholism and domestic violence were common. My dad served with the RCAF as a ground instructor, he did not see combat but lost too many friends and relatives. Didn't talk much about it, he wasn't one to air his feelings, but I am sure it affected him deeply.
Good post MagicMan! I was thinking of my father today. WW2 vet. He was in the New Brunswick Rangers, 10th Independent Ground Defence Platoon, 4th Armored Division, 3rd Canadian Army. He fought his way from the Normandy beaches through France, Holland, Belgium and into Germany. His Division fought along side several American units. He was in many famous battles including Normandy, Bastogne, Nijmegen, Falise, Caen, The Ardenne Forest. He made it home without a scratch, married, raised 5 children, served 35 years as a police officer. He passed away in 1988 at the age of 66 years.
He was only 23 when the war ended. Truly one of the lucky ones.
Thanks for posting MM....Leaving for Fort Jackson SC at 6:00 AM to watch our 18 YO grandson Jake finish basic training. Family Day is Wednesday and Thursday is graduation. His dad and I are proud to have served in the Army, we both enlisted.
Of course his mom, grammy, and girl friend will be there. He will get 2 weeks off at Christmas. Jake started off as E-2 because of his 3 years in ROTC in high school. He served as his unit commander his senior year. He will serve well.............
Thank you vets!
