Remembrance Sunday

11/13/2016

 
Have you been seeing all EPL players with the weird 8-ish sign on their shirts and been like.. huh? I have. So well, thanks to the husband, I've been seeing many of those signs.. and now after googling, I know it's a Poppy (like the princess in Trolls :X). Sorry xD

On this day in 1918, at 11.00am - the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month - the First World War came to an end.

Wikipedia says: ​The poppy is worn around the time of Remembrance Sunday (traditionally from All Souls' Day (November 2) until the latter of Remembrance Day (November 11) or Remembrance Sunday)

The words "Poppy Appeal" is on the centre. 

Observation through parades and silence are held in the United Kingdom and the Common wealth. 

Remembrance Sunday is held in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth as a day "to commemorate the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts". It is held on the second Sunday in November, the Sunday nearest to 11 November, Armistice Day, the anniversary of the end of hostilities in the First World War at 11 a.m. in 1918.

This year it's on 13 November 2016, which is today. 

The honor the countrymen give to those who have sacrificed for their countries. 

Perhaps people feel that soldiers in Singapore aren't given the same respect. But after all, we haven't actually been "tested" through a real war. And I hope that day never comes. 

​But other than that, salute.
