Pocky Day is annually celebrated on November 11. It is an opportunity for fans of Pocky — a delicious, slightly sweet biscuit in a coating of easily-snackable flavored icing — to gather and show their appreciation for the treat. Pocky is one of the most popular treats in Japan and is even served in bars alongside a glass of ice water.
Death/Duty Day
Death/Duty Day is annually observed on November 11. It marks the end of World War I — one of the most destructive conflicts in history — and honors the people who gave their lives fighting for their countries. The holiday remembers the utter ruin created by the Great War to ensure a conflict like this never happens again.
Eleven09 Day
Eleven09 Day is observed annually on November 9 and praises the work of the Eleven09 organization, an institution that helps veterans adjust back from military life to civilian life. It assists them in building careers and becoming successful in their skill sets. It also recognizes the importance of military background in the formation of veterans’ essential sense of honor, duty, leadership, and work ethic. These heroes made the ultimate sacrifice in the defense of the United States and our lifestyle. We must never forget their names and the things they had to let go of when fighting for our freedom. The deep commitment of those wearing the uniform must be commemorated.
