BY HIS EXCELLENCY
JOHN H. TRUMBULL
GOVERNOR
A # rur lantatin
A YE cannot soon forget the great sob of relief, the
| storm of joy and thankfulness and solemn pride
fºsza, which swept over the nation at the news of the
lsº #3 Armistice on that eventful day of November,
1918. For all of us it meant a renewed sense of national
security; a justification of high ideals; a consciousness of
a fight well fought and honorably won. It becomes, how-
ever, increasingly easy to regard phases of the late war in
the light of an evil dream; to overlook the shattered
remains in our hospitals; to ignore the need at our own
doorsteps; to stifle even the spirit which prompted our own
service. To the end that this spirit may be kept alive in
our hearts, I designate Wednesday, the eleventh day of
November next as
Armtiatire ſlag
and recommend that it be observed throughout the State
as a day of thanksgiving for the victory of our arms and a
day of commemoration for all the heroic men and women
whose sacrifices made that victory possible. I suggest that
it is an appropriate occasion to remember in terms of prac-
tical gratitude our disabled soldiers, and I recommend further
that on this day, in so far as may be practicable, all business
and traffic be suspended at eleven o’clock for a period of
two minutes in solemn tribute to the memory of our soldier
dead. We cannot too often reconsecrate ourselves to the
great things for which they gave their lives.
Given under my hand and seal of the State at the Capitol, in Hartford, this fifth day of
November, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-five and of the
independence of the United States the one hundred and fiftieth.
By His Excellency’s Command:
- Secretary.
