YHC shared the significance of the 111th anniversary of WWI’s start, highlighting the armistice signed on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, now observed as Veterans Day. Notably, the agreement was signed in a railway car—a fitting coincidence as a train stopped during our B.O.M.B.S. segment.
Side note… YHC’s M’s birthday is also November 11th
