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 - France - November 11 Guadeloupe - November 11 Isle of Man - November 10 Italy - November 4 Martinique - November 11 New Zealand - April 25 Nigeria - November 11 Serbia - November 11 South Korea - June 6 Turkey - March 18 UK - Sunday nearest to November 11 US - November 11 Edited November 1, 2019 by Angelz baldie and ANGUS 2

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. Edited November 1, 2019 by Sixgun ANGUS 1 Awards
