Miss Frou Frou tagged me with this birthday meme. The rules are pretty simple. You go to http://www.wikipedia.org and type in your birthdate. Then you write down 3 events, 2 births, and 1 holiday.
This is a pretty easy meme for me because my birthday happens to be one of those days where stuff happened. History buffs will recognize right away.
NOVEMBER 11th
Events
1918 РWorld War I ends: Germany signs an armistice agreement with the Allies in a railroad car outside of Compi̬gne in France. The war officially stops at 11:00 (The eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month).
1864 – American Civil War: Sherman’s March to the Sea – Union General William Tecumseh Sherman begins burning Atlanta, Georgia to the ground in preparation for his march south.
1843 – Hans Christian Andersen’s The Ugly Duckling was first published.
Births
You’re only supposed to include two births, but this was too interesting to stop at two. Who would’ve thought I’d share a birthday with these people?
1940 Barabra Boxer–U.S. Senator (for my state of California)
1974 Leonardo DiCaprio–actor (Next time I see Leo, I’ll be sure to let him know. LOL!)
1962 Demi Moore–actress (I’m younger but what I’d give to have a body like hers…)
1922-2007 Kurt Vonnegut–American novelist
1821-1881 Fyodor Dostoyevsky–Russian novelist
Holiday
For those of you in North America or Europe, this should be easy.
Veteran’s Day in the U.S.
Armistice Day in France and Belgium
Remembrance Day in the Commonwealth of Nations, including United Kingdom, Australia and Canada.
Independence Day in Poland.
Tag You’re It
Now I get to tag five people to continue with the meme. Isn’t this fun. 
Kate Willoughby, Christine D’Abo, Tink, Gattina, Ann
