Remembrance Sunday is the day the British nation observes in Nov. to remember and honour those who have sacrificed themselves to secure and protect our freedom.
Sometimes known informally as Poppy Day ( due to the tradition of the remembrance poppy) is a the memorial day observed in Commonwealth member states since the end of the First World War to remember the members of their armed forces who have died in the line of duty.
Here in America, rather than Veterans Day, since its our day reserved to honor all living veterans, we do likewise on Memorial Day. The red poppy officially became the U.S. national emblem of remembrance in 1920 - thanks to the American Legion. So, this year, we are marking 100 years since that national tradition began.
