11-11-11

(November 11, 2011) Today is Veterans Day, the anniversary of the armistice that ended World War I in 1918. The document was signed at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Veterans Day is a federal legal holiday honoring America's veterans with ceremonies and speeches in many communities. Canadians observe Remembrance Day today to honor their war veterans.

Today also is a date curiosity: 11-11-11. There will be one more in our lifetime, next year: 12-12-12.
