Every country has a special day commemorating those who fought and died in the line of duty. Remembrance Day in Canada holds much the same meaning as its counterparts in the U.S. and the Commonwealth of Nations. Celebrated throughout the entire Commonwealth on Nov. 11 since the end of WWI, Remembrance Day actually marks Armistice Day—the day on which the hostilities between the Allies and Germany ceased on the Western Front. Now, the Canadian Remembrance Day honors all Canadians who died while serving in the military in all past wars.
