Remembrance Day is celebrated in the Commonwealth countries to commemorate the members of their armed forces who have died in the line of duty since World War 1.
The significance of the red poppy is from the poem
In Flanders Fields. The date 11 November was chosen to recall the end of World War 1 in 1918.

We did our two minutes silence in rememberance and I'm wearing my poppy with pride - this year is extra special as the minutes silence began at 11:11 on 11/11/11.
hey Huffle Mawson,
Lovely post. We, too, in the USA, honor and salute our Veterans on this 11th of November day. Heartfelt thanks to all those, both human and animal, who have served their Country.
