† 67 [video]
Eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month-
Yesterday was very peaceful, wasn't it? After the world wars, that day became a date for remembrance of the conflict and the armistice for the countries involved; and it became a day to recall the conflicts, the fallen soldiers and the end of all of it. I think it would have been more satisfying to celebrate that old holiday by a genuine armistice, instead of a forced one.
I hope that those who had this date at heart gave a respectful two minutes of silence and a toast for those who had died fighting in the battlefield of any war.
