we all stop as a nation at 11am on 11 november for a minute to remember the fallen soldiers mate. i thought you guys did that too. we have anzac day to celebrate the returned soldiers.

It all comes from the same day. Armistice Day. The First World War ended at 11am, November 11, 1918. In the US, the remembrance morphed into a day to recognize the sacrifice of all veterans who have honorably served our country.
