Its mostly associated with the USA or commonwealth countries but that accounts for a significant portion of the globe! <br /><br />For me its not the colour of the uniform, or what side the soldier was on. These were ordinary men in extraordinary circumstances and they paid the ultimate price. They all deserve to be remembered because Armistice Day isn't a victory parade, its a moment of collective remembrance.BigLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00960213980906190335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7541855965348525624.post-54664889087040507342011-11-11T06:27:18.710+01:002011-11-11T06:27:18.710+01:00Very good post.

As Rosbif has already said, ANZAC day is the big one here.Rodgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14447816347472085277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7541855965348525624.post-44821516710425569182011-11-10T23:49:31.765+01:002011-11-10T23:49:31.765+01:00Thanks for the post, Anibal.

In general the level of interest and observance of these days is growing as our last veterans from this period died. <br /><br />The fact that we still have soldiers fighting and dying overseas is also a reason to remember the fallen, whatever we think of the reasons for the conflict. This is a more mature and balanced response in stark contrast to the way we treated our Vietnam veterans.Ben Gilmourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548280904041987733noreply@blogger.com
