>>>We don't have an "Armistice Day" public holiday in the UK, but the 11th is marked by the laying of wreaths at the cenotaph in London, military parades, veterans' march past and all, on the nearest Sunday thereto.

>>>BTW, they sell red poppies here, in support of veterans' charities (you'll see all UK newscasters wearing them). Is there anything similar over there?

>>Absolutely. We have all of that here in Canada. The great thing about the poppy sales is that they sell them with little straight-pins that always come out and you suddenly discover your poppy is gone so you have to buy another one. Because of our changing weather at this time of year, I also have to buy one for each jacket or coat.
