The following is from the blog of the Jesuit Father Brian Campbell:
On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918, the guns of World War I finally fell silent. Today we remember the 16 million who died in that war. We add to that the 60 million killed in World War 2, 54,000 American troops in the Korean War, 58,000 in the Vietnam War [plus 1 to 2 million Vietnamese], and on an on through the Gulf War, Afghanistan and Iraq. And still it goes on.
