It’s Veterans, Remembrance and Armistice Day, a day to recognize veterans for their selfless service, and to remember especially those who died in the first world war, when the official end of fighting came at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918. (In about six months we mark the 100th anniversary of the United States’ entry into the war.)
In the United Kingdom two minutes of silence is observed on this day to remember servicemen and women who perished in wars.
