Fellow citizens,
"Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth" Ecclesiastes 11:9
To mark Armistice Day, the 11th of November.
Compare and contrast:
"Gassed" by John Singer Sargent 1919
"The Signing of Peace in the Hall of Mirrors, Versailles" by William Orpen 1919
"Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die." Herbert Hoover, 31st President of the United States.
Lest we ever forget that.
