n Sunday, Nov. 11 activities will be held
on Sullivan’s Island to commemorate
the centennial anniversary of the end
of World War I. At the 11th hour, of the 11th
day, of the 11th month of 1918, an armistice
was signed in Compiegne, France to bring an
end to World War I. The annual remembrance
of this day was once called Armistice Day and
is what we now know as Veteran’s Day. In
2013, an act of Congress created The United
States World War I Centennial Commission
to ensure that appropriate commemorations
would be held throughout the centennial.
Commemoration activities on Sullivan’s
