DESCRIPTION:Veterans For Peace Chapter 46 will celebrate Armistice Day and the 106th 
 anniversary of the end of World War I with two events.  \n\nOn Saturday, 
 November 9th, a "Drop the Mic" open mic program will be held at the 
 Monterey Peace and Justice Center in Seaside.  The public is invited to 
 share a brief story, a poem, a favorite quotation, or a song to sing.  Free 
 event.  The doors open at 10 am for breakfast refreshments and social time. 
 \n\nOn Monday, November 11th, Peace Vigil on Armistice/Veterans Day at 
 Window on the Bay in Monterey is set from 10:30 am to 11:30 pm to call for 
 #GlobalCeasefire and #ReclaimArmisticeDay.  All are encouraged to bring a 
 sign, a peace flag, and/or a bell to ring at 11 am, the exact moment the 
 World War I armistice agreement was signed on November 11, 
 1918.\n\nBackground: One hundred and five years ago, on the 11th hour of 
 the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, World War I Allied forces and 
 Germany signed an agreement to cease hostilities as a prelude to peace 
 talks. November 11th was thereafter designated as Armistice Day, a day to 
 honor World War 1 veterans and celebrate the cause of world peace. In 1954, 
 President Eisenhower signed HR7786 to expand the scope of "Armistice Day" 
 to include all veterans who served our country, both in war and in 
 peace.\n\nVeterans For Peace has taken the lead in restoring the original 
 (and forgotten) intention of November 11th as a day on which we "... 
 reconsecrate ourselves to the task of promoting an enduring peace so that 
 their efforts shall not have been in vain." [HR7786]\n\nSponsored by 
 Veterans For Peace Chapter 46  and the Peace Coalition of Monterey County.
