Remembrance Day

It isn't a religion, it is the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month where you remember the people who fought in the wars and died.

When we buy a poppy at this time of year, we do so as a sign of remeberance. But we also do it to suppor our local legions. The legions help vetrans with the money they raise.

"In Flander's Fields", the poppy represents the war.

Remembrance Day is observed on November 11 at 11:00 AM to honor the Armistice agreement that ended World War I on that date in 1918. The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month symbolizes the moment when the fighting ceased, and it serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by military personnel. The day is dedicated to reflecting on the impact of war and remembering those who lost their lives in service.

Remembrance Day last fell on a Sunday on November 11, 2018. The day is observed annually on November 11 to honor military personnel who have died in the line of duty. When it coincides with a Sunday, special services and ceremonies are often held to mark the occasion.

Flanders Fields, located in Belgium, is famously associated with World War I and is known for its vibrant red poppies that bloom in the area. These flowers symbolize the lives lost in the war and have become an enduring emblem of remembrance. While I can't provide a picture, you can easily find stunning images of the poppies online or in commemorative literature. Their beauty serves as a poignant reminder of sacrifice and resilience.

The parade and service at the Cenotaph and the trooping of the colours ,the last post and the 'We will remember them ,' repeated afterward ! The veterans all decked out , their medals in place , polished and pinned to their blazer .There is great solemnety in the service at the cenotaph and many children show their love for the veterans by waving posters thanking them for making them free by what they did !

Poppies were first sold to raise money for children of soldiers who died during World War I. The initiative began in 1921, organized by the Royal British Legion, to support the families of veterans and those affected by the war. The sale of poppies has since evolved to fund various services for veterans and their families.

The red poppies and the symbols they represented were immortalized in the WWI poem: "In Flanders Field". Many of the most intense fighting of the war took place in the area of Flanders, Belgium.

The fighting in World War 1 ended at 11 AM on November 11, 1918.

They are given out in remembrance of the men who died in the World War because poppies grew in the field they were buried. There is a famous poem about Flanders's Fields where the poppies grow.

At 11 am on 11 November 1918 the guns of the Western Front fell silent after more than four years continuous warfare. The allied armies had driven the German invaders back, having inflicted heavy defeats upon them over the preceding four months. In November the Germans called for an armistice (suspension of fighting) in order to secure a peace settlement. They accepted the allied terms of unconditional surrender.

there are white, purple, and red

The poppy is the symbol of Remembrance Day because the flower was in bloom in the spring of 1915, on the battlefields of Belgium, France and Gallipoli. The flower has become synonymous with great loss of life in war.

We remember the soldiers who died in battle fighting and i really don't know why they were fighting in the first place.

bright coloured clothing

Poppies began to grow on the bomb blasted battlefields of WW1. The red poppy was adopted to commemorate the thousands of soldiers who lost their lives (or were maimed for life) , and to emphasise the futility and waste of wars. Money raised by selling poppies allow various service charities to help those from the armed services who are in need of help to overcome the affects of conflict up to the present day (and in the future).

2 minutes silence

Remembrance Day stopped being a holiday in Ontario in 1989 although it is celebrated in other cities in Canada. Many citizens of Ontario want the holiday brought back.

The one minute silence on Remembrance Day serves as a powerful moment of reflection and respect for those who have lost their lives in military service. Observed at 11 a.m. on November 11, it marks the end of World War I and honors the sacrifices made by soldiers in conflicts throughout history. This poignant pause allows individuals and communities to collectively remember the impact of war and to promote peace. It reinforces the importance of acknowledging history and the ongoing quest for reconciliation and understanding.
