Armistice Ends Fighting
November 11, 1918 - At 5:10 am, in a railway car at Compiègne, France, the Germans sign the Armistice which is effective at 11 am--the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. Fighting continues all along the Western Front until precisely 11 o'clock, with 2,000 casualties experienced that day by all sides. Artillery barrages also erupt as 11 am draws near as soldiers yearn to claim they fired the very last shot in the war.

Family, friends await news about soldier
Army is tight-lipped about Bowe Bergdahl’s status

A call to U.S. Army Central Command in Tampa, Fla., last week yielded no news on the status of Pfc. Bowe Bergdahl, a Hailey resident apparently captured by Taliban militants on July 2.
Nonetheless, people across the country continue to pray for Bergdahl and make inquiries about whether the military has made any progress in locating him. Lacking news from national media outlets, people from places such as Oklahoma, Texas and Vermont have called the Express in search of information about Bergdahl.
The circumstances that led to Bergdahl's capture remain uncertain.
Bergdahl was raised in Blaine County, near Hailey. He is a member of the 1st Battalion, 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, based at Fort Richardson, Alaska.
He entered the Army in June 2008 and went through basic training in Fort Benning, Ga.
Bergdahl is currently the only U.S. soldier held captive in Afghanistan.
Bergdahl's official military status changed from "whereabouts unknown" to "missing/captured" on July 15 after a 28-minute online video showed him sitting cross-legged in front of a low table and a white sheet while being interviewed by his captors.
Though family, friends and the Pentagon deliberately kept Bergdahl's identity secret for nearly three weeks after the BBC reported a U.S. soldier missing July 2, the government was forced to reveal his name when the video appeared. Bergdahl's identification tags were displayed in the video, which officials believe was made about July 14.
U.S. Navy Capt. Jack Hanzlik, public affairs officer for U.S. Central Command, responded to a call from the Idaho Mountain Express last week, saying there was no news on Bergdahl's status. Hanzlik reported to Lt. Col. Tim Marsano, public affairs officer for the Idaho National Guard, who forwarded the information to the Mountain Express.
Has anyone read or seen anything else about this missing American POW? Seems to be a news blackout.......
The insurgent leader, Mullah Sangeen, has reportedly demanded the U.S. halt air raids as a condition for the return of the soldier.
