Are there days in your country honouring veterans? (1 Viewer)

Monday (November 11) in Canada is Rememberance Day. We honour veterans and poppies are the symbol of the day. This is the one everyone knows about here.

Also apparently November 8th is Indigenous Veterans Day (to be honest I didn’t know about this until I was Googling things). It commemorates the service of First Nations, Inuit, or Metis individuals in the Canadian Armed Forces. This is not spoken about as much as it should (as with many other Indigenous days of observances, unfortunately)

April 9th is the anniversary of Battle of Vimy Ridge. This battle was the first time that all four divisions of the Canadian Corps had fought together. I can’t think of any events related to this but apparently it exists.​

Nov 11 is also Veteran's Day in the US.
There's also a June 12 for Women's Veterans Day but it's not recognized everywhere here. It's the same day women were allowed to serve in any of the branches by law.

For federal holidays, we have Veterans Day, on November 11th as well. Memorial Day is also military, but specifically for those who died while serving. For non federal ones I am not listing all of these so here Probably not all states celebrate all of these. It’s also non exhaustive apparently
