In Canada we call it Remembrance Day. We stop what we're doing at eleven am and bow our heads and observe two minutes of silence to personally reflect on the importance of the contribution and sacrifice of our veterans. We still wear the poppies. If I see someone without a poppy on that day it irks me a little. It's a simple gesture for such a very big thing. It's about respect, and I have a deep respect for all those who served.
