Wow, I had no idea it was today...

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.

After the anual " picking my self with my poppy 10 times " I never for get this day.

yeah i got a poppy the other day and donated a bit of cash to that tin can for the veterans. makes me sick how people are trying to steal those cans tho, pathetic!

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.

Wow, America is the asshole on this holiday huh?
