danaerisToday is Remembrance Day, a very important not-holiday for Canadians. (not all provinces have the day off, but everone across Canada observes the holiday nonetheless)
On Nov. 11, at 11 a.m., we observe a moment of silence to remember the veterans who have fought -- and fallen -- in order to win us the freedoms we enjoy today. At the end, those of us listening to the radio, or in a large office or school, hear the bugle play.
We wear poppies, and read the poem In Flanders Field, and we try to remember.
