Today is our Armistace Day here NZ also known as Remembrance Day - this symbolizes our thanks for all the men and women who have fought in all wars but especially WW1. The coming of peace was on the 11th hour on the 11th day of 1918 and 2 minutes silence is normally observed in memory of the Kiwis who died while serving their country.
This particular mural in Paeroa depicts the branches of of the NZ military forces, a howitzer and a naval anti-aircraft Oerlikon Cannon.
Linking up with Mural Monday and Our World Tuesday.

Beautifully done, and fitting.
As I am sure you know it is also commemorated here today lest we forget. A timelt post.
Nice and timely!
Extremely timely and well planned. This is a beautiful mural and so deserving of those who fought in all countries during that war and all who have served.
That's a wonderful painting. It's good to remember
There is so much irony. You honor your men who fought for peace and Germany starts carnival on 11.11. 11:00 am.
Your way to live this day is much better.
Lovely tribute to those who fought for our freedoms. Armistice Day is also being celebrated in Australia today.
Remembrance Day here in Canada.
Perfect mural for the day.
Great mural.
Hello, it is a perfect mural for Remembrance Day! It is called Veterans Day here.
Enjoy your day, wishing your a great new week!
Excellent post in honor of the day. It is now called Veterans Day here in the States, to honor from all Wars,but I also remember as a child that it was Armistice Day and the poppies that the VFW sold.
An excellent mural for the day.
Here in the States it's called Veterans Day and I'm off, yay!
