i guess it depends where you're from but did you guys have remembrance day ceremonies at school growing up. that was always a weird day... get a bunch of children packed into a gym and try to make them really sad about ww1 and ww2 even though they have no clue what happened there lmfao. make them listen to the last post in dead silence, recite in flanders fields, and lay poppy wreaths on a white cross where they also play dodgeball in the afternoons... very weird and morbid experience to have as a child not saying it's bad but it was definitely a weird ritual

The Canadian Army

Remembrance Day in Canada, observed on November 11, honors the men and women who served in the Canadian Armed Forces, particularly those who sacrificed their lives in war, conflict, and peacekeeping missions. This solemn day marks the armistice that ended World War I on November 11, 1918, and has grown to commemorate veterans of all wars, including World War II, the Korean War, and peacekeeping missions around the world.

At 11:00 a.m., Canadians observe a moment of silence to remember and reflect on the courage and sacrifices of military personnel. In many communities, ceremonies are held at cenotaphs and war memorials, where people lay wreaths and recite the poem "In Flanders Fields" by Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae, a Canadian soldier and poet. The red poppy, inspired by this poem, is a symbol of remembrance in Canada, worn by many people leading up to November 11.

The Royal Canadian Legion, a national organization of veterans, plays a significant role in organizing Remembrance Day events and the annual poppy campaign, with funds going to support veterans and their families.
