HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - A centennial commemoration event for World Ward One kicked off Sunday at Aloha Tower.

Military members, veterans and civilians gathered for the event.

The ceremony at the Aloha Tower Marketplace commemorated the sinking of the merchant ship, the S.S. Aztec, which was a factor in the decision of the U.S. Congress to declare war on Germany and their Allies.

Six merchant mariners from Hawaii died in the attack by a German U-boat in the Atlantic.

They should hire you; you know the difference between “any more” and “anymore”.

Anymore was correct in this situation. Any longer is also correct.
