There were millions of WW1 veteran s. The war broke out almost 100 years ago and all the veterans are now dead. The last one died last year (2011).
The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month refers to Veteran's day. It was also when world war 1 ended. Veteran's day moment of silence is at the that very hour, saluting all the fallen veterans.
