Subject: RE: Armistice/Veterans Day USA, monitored (songs+poem)
R-J, here in the UK, ‘Armistice Day’ is on 11th November each year, and we still have two minutes’ silence in many workplaces and public places at 11am on that day, as well as a silence on BBC radio. ‘Remembrance’ ceremonies are also held around the country - notably the televised National ceremony at the cenotaph in Whitehall, London - on the nearest Sunday to Armistice Day, with two minutes silence at 11am.

Of course, Remembrance includes, not only The Great War, but all conflicts since.
