November 11 is Remembrance Day in Canada

In remembrance of the men and women who have served, and continue to serve Canada during times of war, conflict and peace.

Remembrance Day (also known as Poppy Day, Armistice Day or Veterans Day) is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth countries to remember the sacrifices of members of the armed forces and civilians in times of war, specifically since the First World War. This day, or alternative dates, are also recognized as special days for war remembrances in many non-Commonwealth countries.

Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November to recall the official end of World War I on that date in 1918, as the major hostilities of World War I were formally ended "at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month" of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice.

BEAUTIFUL photo and tribute Simon. As a Canadian of Dutch heritage, I am most grateful, appreciative and in awe of the Canadian people and their armed forces who were largely instrumental in liberating The Netherlands in W.W.II.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Fourth stanza of 'For the Fallen' by Laurence Binyon (1869 - 1943)
Great photo for this special day Simon.
