11th month, 11th day, 11th hour

"By the hundred thousand young men have died for the hope of a better world They have opened for us the way. If, as a people, we can be wise and tolerant and just in peace as we have been resolute in war, we shall build them the memorial that they have earned in the form of a world set free from military force, national tyrannies, and class oppressions, for the pursuit of a wider justice in the spirit of a deeper and more human religion."
- from The Guardian, 12 November 1918

Though we no longer call it Armistice Day, let us not forgot why we mark this day 87 years later:

The scribes on all the people shove
And brawl allegiance to the state,
But they who love the greater love
Lay down their life; they do not hate.
- from At Calvary near Ancre, Wilfred Owen
