Remembrance Day/Poppy Day/Armistice Day/Veteran’s day
Major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918… a day to commemorate the sacrifices of members of the armed forces and of civilians on both sides.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.
— Lt.-Col. John McCrae (1872 – 1918)
