Remembrance Day, also known as Poppy Day or Armistice Day, commemorates soldiers who died during World War I, observed every November 11 at 11:00 am with a one-minute silence. The poppy is a symbol linked to Flanders Field, where only this flower bloomed amidst the war's devastation, famously captured in the poem 'In Flanders Fields' by Canadian poet Lt. Col. John McCrae. The day serves as a solemn reminder of the sacrifices made by military personnel.
