B4Peace, Tomb of the Unknowns, United States, Veterans Day

.

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 there was an armistice; a temporary cessation of hostilities in the First World War was declared between the Allied nations and Germany.

On June 4, 1926, Congress passed a resolution that a “recurring anniversary of [November 11, 1918] should be commemorated with thanksgiving and prayer and exercises designed to perpetuate peace through good will and mutual understanding between nations.”

Beginning in 1927, November 11 became known as Armistice Day.

In 1938, Armistice Day became a legal federal holiday in the United States.

Veterans-Day-ThankYouIn 1954, the 83rd Congress amended the 1938 act that made Armistice Day a federal holiday, replacing the word “Armistice” with “Veterans.” From then on, November 11 became a day to honor American veterans of all wars.

In 1968, Congress passed a Uniform Holidays Bill which created three-day weekends for federal employees — and to encourage tourism and travel — by celebrating four national holidays (Washington’s Birthday, Memorial Day, Veterans Day and Columbus Day) on Mondays. At that point, Veterans Day was made the fourth Monday in October. President Gerald Ford signed a law returning the observation of Veterans Day to November 11th beginning in 1978.

Britain, France, Australia and Canada also commemorate the veterans of World Wars I and II on or near November 11th. Canada has Remembrance Day, Britain has Remembrance Sunday (the second Sunday of November). In many countries in Europe, it is common to observe two minutes of silence at 11 a.m. every November 11.

In the United States, an official wreath-laying ceremony is held each Veterans Day at the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery. Parades and various other celebrations are held in the states.

I want to say thank you to all American Veterans past, present, and future. I believe we should thank you every day of the year for your service.

NOTE: I believe in peaceful dialog, not war to solve national and international difference — however, the images of this film are how our veterans live during war situations and we owe them a deep respect and to honor them.

Daylight saving time, DST, United States

we get an extra hour of sleep and
an earlier sunset this weekend

Photo of a municipal employee resetting a large clock for daylight savings time in the center of Minsk.

For Americans, daylight saving time will end with a “fall back”
to standard time on Sunday, November 3, at 2 a.m.

Most of the United States “sprang forward” an hour to begin
DST on Sunday, March 10.

Thanks for learning with me.

Two videos today… you’ll open the page to get this story. Please comment if you have time.

1st video… economic collapse — the military consumes the riches — the people can’t get their needs met — the economy collapses — its really that simple. Atomic weapons are like bullets… remember that statement — it will be reality again soon, I think.michio-kaku-brain-net-bigthink

Do we need a strong Peace Department?

2nd video… we want a good life — the Information Age exploded upon us in the recent decades and it is unstoppable — ideas are independent of controls — We access information on just about anything — for free — control of data and analysis of data lag behind important decisions that get made — the data contribute to peace or war.

Here is Dr. Michio Kaku with views on the science of democracy in a Worlds Apart interview video:

Major decisions about the future of our countries are being made in offices by a few leaders — we get “snapshots” to keep us up to date on their decisions. Is there a better way?  

GinghoThanks for visiting,

Hunt 4 Truth

For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself." https://hunt4truth.wordpress.com/ Absolute Truth is whole, complete and perfect. Absolute Truth is just beyond words, mental concepts, and form; Non-being, yet in everything and yet beyond thought forms. Prayer and meditation fashion in our hearts further honesty, openness, and willingness and thus, we may glimpse guidance and truth to rightly think and act. Any glimpse of truth is not Absolute Truth. It may be sufficient until we renew our commitment to serve God. Life is thus best navigated during mindfulness of prayer and meditation by an inner peace. "For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities — his eternal power and divine nature — have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse." Romans 1:20
