My friend wears a poppy motif

According to Canadian people, they dedicate 2 minuites of silence to remembrance of war at Nov. 11th.. I think it's a respectable custom and it's similar to The day of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan (Aug. 6th, 9th). We should never forget about the War and never do agin.
