[GPSCC-chat] Armistice Day, Tuesday, November 11, 2014, 11am, 4th & Santa Clara, San Jose, CA

[Spencer Graves]

Hello, All:


       The County Council agreed that the Santa Clara Greens should 
co-sponsor an observance of Armistice Day Tuesday, November 11, 2014, at 
11 AM at the Corner of Fourth & Santa Clara Streets, San José, California


       Veterans for Peace chapters across the nation are meeting on 
street corners in major cities to celebrate the original ARMISTICE DAY 
by ringing bells 11 times at 11:00 AM on November 11.  "The War to End 
All Wars" (World War I) officially ended on the eleventh hour of the 
eleventh day of the eleventh month, 1918.


       Veterans for Peace Chapter 101 invites those with a personal or 
organizational commitment to peace to join us in the ringing of bells on 
the morning of November 11 to focus on the desire to end the horror of 
war rather than celebrate it.  After the solemn gathering, the 11am 
bell-ringing and a minute of silence there will be an opportunity to 
address the gathering with personal reflections.


       Banners and signs are fine but it would be best if the ambience 
were more reserved until after the bell is rung.
