It's an annual tradition to remember the heroes that died at the World War 1.
It's celebrated on November 11th.
There will be one or two minutes silence to appreciate the heroes..
It usually before 11:00 A.M.
Many countries celebrated the Remembrance Day like Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Australia, Hongkong, Airland, Italy, and others.
In Canada, Remembrance Day is a public holiday. The Governor General of Canada, the prime minister, and Royal Family will attend the celebration. At the last time, in Canada the Remembrance Day was known as The Armistice Day. The Remembrance Day celebration will be held at the National War Memorial in Ottawa. Until now, they also have a program called Canada Remembers for the young generations that never known war in order to they can appreciate those who had tried so hard and had helped Canada in the war era.
In United Kingdom, Remembrance Day is not national holiday. They will celebrate the Remembrance Day on Sunday nearest to November 11th. They will have the ceremony that attended by the British Royal Family. After the celebration, they also will have parade of veterans and the Royal Family will give a salute.
In Indonesia, we have a flag ceremony every Monday. In the ceremony there is a part called 'Mengheningkan Cipta' after we sing our national anthem. 'Mengheningkan Cipta' is a part of the ceremony where we have to bow our heads and say the prayer for those heroes who had passed away. It is another way to appreciate the merit of the heroes. We must feel thankful to those heroes that we do not need to fight in the war like them.
We should remember those heroes who had suffered or passed away..
