What is Remembrance Day and the Red Poppy
A personal letter to a loved one from home. The First World War 1914 - 1918
“Remembrance Day means a lot of different things to The Second World War 1939 - 1945
a lot of different people. This day is to honor our
heroes, to remember their achievements, their The Korean War 1950 - 1953
courage and their dedication, and to say thank you for The Golden Years 1950 - 1964
their sacrifices. But not only is today about those men Air Command 1975 - 2011
who have proudly served this country previously, it's
also about those who still stand at the front line The War Against Terrorism 1989 - Present
today, risking their lives to protect each and every Peacekeeping and International Missions
one of us.
