Joined: August 14, 2009		 Remembrance Day – also known as Poppy Day, Armistice Day (the event it commemorates) or Veterans Day – is a day to commemorate the sacrifices of members of the armed forces and of civilians in times of war, specifically since the First World War.

It is observed on 11 November to recall the end of World War I on that date in 1918. 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.

Many countries hold a 2 minute silence to commemorate the sacifices made, at the time mentioned above.

In the UK the Royal British Legion also sell poppies to the public and all monies are donated to the Poppy Appeal.
