Join Veterans in this Community Dialogue to Stop Violence and Wars
Saturday, November 11th
If you’re tired of violence and wars, take this opportunity to join with Veterans For Peace and other community groups on Saturday, November 11th at 10 AM in the Community Room of the main library at 447 S. Salina St, Syracuse.
This FREE and OPEN event will feature a collaboration of veteran and community groups who are working in their respective areas to bring about understanding, unity and harmony. This date was chosen because it is the original Armistice Day – the day in 1918 when the hostilities of World War One ended and Congress declared this date to be “a day dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated with ceremonies of friendly relations”.

More on Armistice Day:
- The sound of the moment of the Armistice. A sound company approximated the sounds of the moment of the Armistice by using the technology of the time to give their best guess as to what it sounded like. Powerful – the sounds of war becoming the sounds of peace.
- The sound itself. (1 minute)
- How the sound company approximated the sound.
- An animation on sound ranging and the end of war. Starts off geeky, ends in an understated way that is very powerful.
- Militarism and Climate Brochure by Veterans for Peace.
