| | At least in the US, Veteran's Day (aka Remembrance Day, Poppy Day, etc.) is not just to remember the fallen soldiers. It is to remember all veterans of any wars, dead or alive, that have fought for our country or any country. We have a Memorial Day in May especially for fallen soldiers, but Veteran's Day, held on November 11, the day of the Armistice of World War I, is for all soldiers.
And now a moment of silent remembrance and honor for all soldiers who have fought bravely for any country or cause. Thank you for your contribution and willingness to give your life for the lives of others.
