Remembrance Day

Remembering Our Heroes

Remembrance Day, also known as Poppy Day, is celebrated every year on November 11th to honor the brave men and women who have served and sacrificed their lives for our nation. On this day, we remember those who fought for our freedom and the ones who continue to do so.

It is a day to pay our respect, to remember and also to contemplate the significance of their heroic deeds. It reminds us of the value of peace, the perils of war and the importance of unity in the face of adversity. We observe a moment of silence at 11 am in memory of those who fought in the Great War and all the battles since then. This day serves as a great way to educate the young about the history of our country and how significant our freedom is to us.

The Symbol of Remembrance

The Poppy flower has become an enduring symbol of remembrance for fallen soldiers throughout many countries. It is believed that the Poppy flower grew on the battlefields after World War I and has since been an emblem of peace and hope. Organizations such as the British Legion collects donations in exchange for poppies to raise funds for military families and veterans.

Wearing a Red Poppy is a simple but significant way to show our support, respect and gratitude for the work carried out by those who served and sacrificed their lives for us. It is a small act of remembrance but it holds a greater significance that we can convey to future generations. Let us wear our red poppies with pride and honor those who have given the ultimate price for our safety with a peaceful mind and gratitude.
