Poppy Day
In the UK, today is Remembrance Sunday. It marks the 90th anniversary of the end of the First World War. Every year, on the 2nd sunday in November, Poppies are sold as an act of remembrance, and thousands of people gather for memorial services to pay respects to Britain's fallen soldiers.
"Remembrance Day gives each of us, from all walks of life, from every cultural background, and from every corner of the nation, the opportunity to stop, and reflect, and give silent thanks. For there are still those who today risk their lives for our sake. Whether in a church, or in a public place, whether standing at a war memorial or in private at home, let us acknowledge for two minutes, our debt to those who have gone before, and our responsibilities to those who come after us. What others have died for, let us now live for, lest we forget." -Rev. David Lunan
