Sunday is the 100th anniversary of the Armistice that ended the war that was supposed to end all wars. A solemn day, often forgotten, mixed up with other observances and holidays. They called it the Great War back then. It changed the world, and for years people paused for a minute of silence to remember the moment the war ended — the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, 1918. The United States sent a million soldiers to France.
