The Current Situation

Veterans Day / Remembrance Day

In the U.S., November 11 is Veterans Day, a federal holiday for honoring military veterans who served in the United States Armed Forces.

In Commonwealth countries (including Canada), France, and Belgium, November 11 is Remembrance Day, which honours armed forces members who have died in the line of duty.

In Poland, November 11 is National Independence Day, the anniversary of the restoration of Poland’s sovereignty in 1918 from the German, Austro-Hungarian and Russian Empires.

Take a moment today to honor those who served.
