11/11/1918. The allies had decided that the armistice would be signed on 11/11 at 11 am. Although he was knowing that, an US general launched an attack against a village held by the Germans. 300 Americans died for nothing. The last one was Sergent Henry Gunther, who died 1 mn before the armistice. All the death certificates of these soldiers were dated from November 10th... Nobody remembers the name of the general.
November 2020. A study shows that 110 000 lives would have been saved in USA if 95% of the population had used a mask. I hope that people will remember the name of the president responsible for this slaughter.

@topffer I agree, he appointed the Judge of the Supreme Court, he is firing all those who do not please him, he is planning something and not something good.
I have read an interesting editorial in our Swiss newspaper today, the point is "Can we still trust America? Trump was elected, he made a mess during 4 years, but still 70 million Americans follow him...". I thought to this several time in the past few days and I thought to Germany, at least that one was a good speaker.

@topffer I can understand that the Americans were embarrassed telling the truth to the family.
I am surprised and scared but what is happening in the United States. He was so sure he had won! Do you remember the scene of the movie the Sting, when the cheater is cheated??? Well, surely he was sure he won that Poker party.

We still wear them when in England on 11th of November tops they are paper ones and the stem plastic.
You can wear them in a buttonhole of your coat if you have one.
The money from them being sold was going to the families of the fallen Soldiers from both Wars.
We only know them as poppies.

Remembrance Day over here but it isn't a holiday, we're just supposed to wear a poppy and observe a moment of silence at 11am.

In France people used to wear a cornflower on this day. And in my young years the schools were bringing us (children in public schools) to see the ceremony at a memorial. I don't think there were ceremonies this year because of the covid, except in Paris.

I will remember . . . and I will remember how he said he does not take responsibility at all for this. It goes beyond the usage of a mask . . . he downplayed the seriousness of this virus and delayed the response to this pandemic. So much more could have been done earlier and many lives could have been saved. Instead of letting science lead us, he politicized the usage of masks and now we have people running around screaming about their freedoms rather than doing the right thing concerning public health safety.
