At the eleventh on the eleventh day in the eleventh month, the Great War was ended. The Armistice was signed and the world was at peace. That's the hope expressed at the end of World War I in 1918. After 86 years, the world has still not learned to live in peace and men and boys continue to die for their country or for a certain point of view. Today is the day in the United States that we honor those men and women who have served with honor and dignity throughout the years.
Thank you one and all.

Here are some interesting articles.
+ABC affiliates around the country are refusing to air the movie, "Saving Private Ryan." Each of the, so far, 30 stations have pointed to the language and violence in the movie. Sources say that the "F" word is used throughout the movie. General Managers at several ABC stations point out that in the current climate of fines from the FCC that the movie cannot be shown uncut.
Until this week, ABC failed to provide stations with a copy of the film as it was to be shown, but the affiliates have known for many months of the scheduling. If they wanted to see it uncut, the could have gone to their nearest Blockbuster.
Stations in Atlanta, Des Moines, and others that cover over 30% of the country will be airing alternative programming this evening. One station manager said that the FCC's "inconsistent" application of the rules has made it impossible to show any film with language or violence.
Earlier this season, ABC ordered the producer of NYPD Blue to "tone down" the language and eliminate all partial nudity. The edgy NYPD Blue is known for these attributes and until the Janet Jackson incident had planned a normal season.
