Popular Post mrsmackpaul Posted November 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2021 We dont call it Veterans day in Australia. We call it remembrance day and the day is like pretty much any other except everthing stops at 11.00am for a minutes silence Apparently every country in the Commonwealth calls it remembrance day and US is the only country that call it veterans day Not matter what we call it we are all in debt to the people that have and still do give up everything to protect us Paul 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/68714-veterans-day/#findComment-482745 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veterans Day is to honor those who have served in our military. Memorial Day is to honor and remember those who have given the ultimate sacrifice in the service of our Country. 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/68714-veterans-day/#findComment-482785 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsmackpaul Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Dunno Dave, rememberance is to remember all, all who served, all who never came home, all the loved ones who never had their loved ones returned All in all we as long as we never forget I think in Australia is all that really matters Thanks for clearing that up Dave, I wrongly assumed veterans day was similar to rememberance day Paul 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/68714-veterans-day/#findComment-482809 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowdyRebel Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Was originally called "Armistice Day" to mark the end of WWI. After WWII, it became known as "Veterans Day" to honor all of those who had served in the 2nd WW as well as the 1st. Or at least that's what I seem to recall from school. It's been more than a few minutes since then, though.😬 2 Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!
