I googled to find out how many countries in the world celebrate Remembrance Day and I found that only 17 countries do.

I also found out not all countries celebrate Remembrance Day on November 11.

I made these desktops of all the countries who celebrate Remembrance Day.

If I am missing any, let me know and I will make one.


Australia - April 25
Belgium - November 11
Bermuda - November 11
Canada - November 11
Cayman Islands -

Here in the United States we don't call or celebrate  Remembrance day or Poppy day. We call it Veterans Day. 

Americans don't typically wear poppies on November 11 (Veterans Day), which honors all living veterans. Instead, they wear the symbolic red flower on Memorial Day—the last Monday in May—to commemorate the sacrifice of so many men and women who have given their lives fighting for their country.

United States

Veterans Day is observed in the United States on 11 November, and is both a federal holiday and a state holiday in all states. However, the function of the observance elsewhere is more closely matched by Memorial Day in May. In the United States, and some other allied nations, 11 November was formerly known as Armistice Day; in the United States it was given its new name in 1954 at the end of the Korean War to honour all veterans. Veterans Day is observed with memorial ceremonies, salutes at military cemeteries, and parades.

@Sixgun I never knew that about the USA. Learn something new every day.
