Doesn't happen often, just once in a lifetime, and it's here today, the 11th month, 11th day of the 11th year. I don't expect to be around for the next one.
And, it occurs on Veterans Day, formerly Armistice Day, set up to honor the World War I veterans back then, but now to honor all our veterans.
World War I, The War To End All Wars, ended this date back in 1918; the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Unfortunately, it was not the last war.
I imagine there will be a lot of marriages today (easier for the husband to remember it) just as there has been every year since the turn of the century: 1-1-01, 2-2-02 and so forth.
A Big Thank You to Our Veterans. --Cooter
