I recall standing up for a minute of silence in grade school at 11 minutes past 
11 on Nov. 11.  And then much later meeting a few old European WWI veterans (on 
Nov. 11, 1967, in Ypres, Belgium), for whom that moment meant a great deal.  
Sad to think that Europe went back to war just 20+ years later....
and sad (to me) to think that we don't generally still have a moment of silence 
on this day ....
