Remembrance Day

Remembrance Day is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth member states to honor armed forces members who have died in the line of duty, typically on November 11 to recall the end of World War I hostilities. The tradition evolved from Armistice Day and includes a one- or two-minute silence at 11:00 am, the sounding of the "Last Post" and "Reveille", and the recitation of the "Ode of Remembrance". The Service of Remembrance typically includes wreath-laying, blessings, and national anthems. In Australia, Remembrance Day is observed on November 11 and is not a public holiday, with services held at war memorials and schools.learn more on wikipedia
