This is the day we used to commemorate as Armistice Day, because the treaty ending hostilities of the First World War took effect at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918. After the Second World War, it was called Veterans Day in the United States and Remembrance Day in the countries of the British Commonwealth. This sermon will explore where we are in the longest war in our history.
