Some countries call today Armistice Day, as a nod towards the end of World War I, while other countries call it Remembrance Day, dedicating today to the fallen soldiers of the “war to end all wars.” The U.S. celebrates Veteran’s Day, recognizing all current and past service members for their sacrifices.
Their courage, service & sacrifices should never be forgotten. #LestWeForget #RemembranceDay #VeteransDay pic.twitter.com/wMfIGRLtzB

Images of the red poppy are reminders that life continues on despite what is sacrificed during war, and are symbols specifically of WW1.
