On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. . .

Image from the National World War I Memorial 
Kansas City, Missouri

On this the 100th Anniversary of the end of World War I
let us never forget the cost of war.

The Memorial has been celebrating for the past 9 days,
by illuminating the north side of the memorial with poppies.
Today there was a service held at the memorial 
which included  readings of diaries, letters
 and remembrances of those who served, 
those who died and those left at home.
Not all were from the United States.
Selections from other countries
 were read by a member of the Armed Forces from that country.
So some Brits, a Frenchman, even an Aussie along with others.

You can view photos of  the poppy installation
  as well as video of this mornings events here--

We will remember.
