This day is honored in many countries as Remembrance Day or Veterans Day, celebrating the sacrifices made by military personnel during the war and in subsequent conflicts. Ceremonies typically include moments of silence, parades, and memorials, fostering a sense of gratitude and reflection on the costs of war.
