This Veterans Day, let us especially remember those who perished in this oft-forgotten war
One hundred years ago this Sunday, an armistice ended the fighting in the Meuse-Argonne region of France. To say it was welcome would be a vast understatement: Between September 26 and November 11, 1918, more than a million American soldiers had been engaged in fierce battle against the depleted but determined forces of imperial Germany. With more than 26,000 dead and more than 95,000 wounded, the battle stands as the bloodiest single military engagement in U.S. history.
