Description: Sign reading "Victory" is positioned above four soldiers standing on a decorated flatbed truck. Another sign reading "11-11-11" is attached to the side of the flatbed truck.
The "11-11-11" sign refers to Armistice Day (also known as Remembrance Day and Veteran's Day) which is on 11 November and commemorates the armistice signed between the Allies of World War I and Germany which took effect at eleven o'clock in the morning—the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" of 1918.
