Just a touch of history.
Most people don't ever learn that Veteran's Day is a celebration of the end of hostilities for World War I.
Of course, if you're like me, you think that the hostilities didn't actually end, they were just delayed for a couple of decades.
Other wars have seen temporary periods of peace. Take the Pelloponnesian war, which had the Peace of Nicias. That period lasted about 6 years, depending on what you consider the actual return to conflict, if it really ever stopped.
Yeah, I'm reading A War Like No Other. So far, I highly recommend it.
