November 11th, the official holiday in many countries including the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia, India, Kenya, New Zealand, France, Belgium, Denmark, Poland, Norway, Hong Kong, and other countries. It is dedicated to honoring people who have served in armed forces. On the November 11th, 2014, we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the end of World War 1 which has formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 (exactly when the Armistice with Germany went into effect).

Also, known as Poppy Day, we pay tribute to the members of the armed forces who have died in the line of duty. In Britain, Canada and South Africa there is a tradition that includes the two minute silence.

Today, five million people have attended the Tower of London’s Remembrance poppy display and the event was finished with the placement of the last poppy laid as a tribute to the fallen. The area blooms with 888,245 poppies which represent a British or Colonial military death during the World War l. “Every poppy represents a life lost and a family shattered”. Note that 17,500 people volunteered to place poppies. And the ceremony of planting a last poppy by a 13-year old cadet was heart-felt touching.

As all countries unite, we reckon with the past and hold a powerful promise of reconciliation. The events that occurred in the beginning of the 20th century had dramatic impact on history. By acknowledging the facts of the past, it is time to advance peace in the whole world.
