At exactly 11:11 a.m. every Veteran’s Day, the sun aligns perfectly with the Anthem Veteran’s Memorial in Arizona to shine through the ellipses of the five marble pillars representing each branch of the Armed Forces, illuminating The Great Seal of the United States.

Nice! Just attended the centennial of the Armistice at the Meuse-Argonne cemetery in France. Did a walk of the SGT York trail, the “Lost Battalion” pocket, and Vauquois Hill where 4,000 men are still buried under the moonscape. I have to say, the French people who come to these places (more than you’d think) are incredibly grateful to America for their contribution to freedom and liberty, as attested by the daily comments in the visitors’ logs in these places.

If you happen to find yourself at the Regina Trench Cemetery, see if you can find my wife’s g-g uncle James Cutts, killed at the Battle of the Somme in September 1916.

If you're ever in KC check out the National WWI museum, it's pretty cool.

That’s still a bit of a hike north and west of here. We are mainly sticking to the 1st Army’s line of advance for the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. After today’s Armistice event we visited Vauquois Hill, near the big victory memorial on Montfaucon. 4,000 Soldiers (German and French) according to records are still buried somewhere in the hill. I’ll follow up with some pics once we’re home; staying in a tiny French town (think Georgetown size for you CENLA baws) with spotty internet connectivity until tomorrow.

Great day to be there. I went there some time ago when I was stationed in Germany.
