yeah its veterans day here, haven't heard one word of it aside from public radio and one kid in class asking if we got any time off
kinda fucked up, considering we're in the middle of a war. and veterans day goes by without a second glance
Armistice Day in Britain is a huge deal. People have been buying poppies for over a month.
Two minutes silence at 11. Always is. To remember all the people who have died in the two world wars and since.

It's a big deal in Canada.
EVERYONE wears poppies, schools have assemblies, there is the 2 minute silence at 11 EVERYWHERE (schools, workplaces etc.)
This morning I was woken up by a canon going off, and I looked out my window, there was a huge congregation of people at the commemorating statue across the street from me (even though it was pouring out).
Meh, I have never personally taken it as a big deal, but everyone around me does, so I show my respect.
