November 11 is "Veterans Day" in the US.  We also have a "Memorial Day"
in
late May, which I believe started as "Decoration Day" either during or
shortly after our Civil War (a holiday on which you'd go out and
decorate
the graves of soldiers with flowers and such... basically the same
concept
as Remembrance Day, I'd gather).
