US Veterans day 11 November 2017


Originally designated as Armistice Day at the end of WW1, celebrated on the 11th day, on the 11 month, with a two minute silence at the 11th hour.

In the US Congress amended a bill on June 1, 1954, replacing "Armistice" with "Veterans Day."

In the UK two separate events are celebrated on that day. Remembrance Day is a memorial to all fallen soldiers, while Armistice day celebrates the end of WW1.

Next stop main station

Substation one is complete, needs a slight trim on the corners. Can't ask for anything better. Perfect as far as I am concerned.
