Veterans' Day - 11/11/11

Today's featured puzzle from Arizona was placed two years ago today, on Veterans' Day.  The holiday is in honor of  the fact that major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918.  Many geo-events will be marking 11/11/11 on the calendar, but I thought it fitting to honor the original 11/11 with a:
