Remembrance Day , 有人称为国殇纪念日, 也有人叫做老兵节, 虞美人花日等等, 但是我倾向於叫它 战争纪念日, 订立於每年的11月11日,为一个纪念在第一次世界大战、第二次世界大战和其他战争中犧牲的军人与平民的纪念节日.
我戴小红花的意义不只是纪念在战争中犧牲的军人和跟老兵致敬而已, 更重要的是要大家认知战争的可怕与残酷 (那些经历过二次世界大战的老兵, 对於以前战争的画面都不忍回顾), 要想想为什么要战争呢? 如果大家都能够预先看到战争结束後的悲惨画面的话, 也许大家都不会愿意发动战争吧~~~ 难怪老子在道德经会说: 夫兵者, 不祥之器.
英文字很有意思, 战争在英文翻译做 WAR.
为什么会打仗呢??? 因为每个人都认为他是对的 (We Are Right)
每个人, 每个家庭, 每个社区, 每个地区, 每个国家都认为他(们) 自己本身是对的, 都认为自己本身是正义的化身, 所以才会想要赢, 胜利, 消灭敌人.
举个例子吧~~~ 耶路撒冷是犹太教, 基督/天主教, 回教的圣城, 为什么就不能够和平相处共存呢? 因为只有(我们)才配拥有控制这个圣城~~~
其实要减少战争很简单, 就是放下, 就是博爱, 有同理心.
这就是我戴小红花所希望达到的目的, Lest We Forget~~~ -

阵亡将士纪念日(英文:Remembrance Day)订立于每年的11月11日,为一个纪念在第一次世界大战、第二次世界大战和其他战争中牺牲的军人与平民的纪念节日。第一个国殇日于1919年在整个英联邦举行,原称“停战日”(英文:Armistice Day),于1919年11月7日由英王乔治五世创立,纪念第一次世界大战于1918年11月11日上午11时结束。不同的地方对节日有着不同的称呼:阵亡将士纪念日流行于澳洲,加拿大与英国;虞美人花日(英文
oppy Day)通用于马耳他和南非;退伍军人日(英文:Veterans Day)为美国人的称呼;日本人将德文的“Volkstrauertag ”翻译为国民哀悼日(日文:国民哀悼の日)专指德国的阵亡将士纪念日;在法国、新西兰以及其他英联邦国家则称之为停战日(英文:Armistice Day),这也是节日本来的名称,为国际通用。 [1][2]
在加拿大阵亡将士纪念日(英文:Remembrance Day)并不是每一个省都是放假的,例如安大略省和魁北克省就没有放假,但在其他省则有放假,不过有一些私人企业则不会放假,纪念是由每一年的第十一个月的第十一天第十一个小时开始,数万人聚在首都渥太华市的国家战争纪念址,为战争中不幸死亡的军人和平民祈祷,学校也会讼读《在法兰德斯战场》这一首诗。阵亡将士纪念日在加拿大的民间受到高度重视,从阵亡将士纪念日的一周前民众就开始佩戴虞美人花,一直到11日11时默哀。虞美人花原本应该在默哀后摘下丢入墓地,因此现在大部分人在默哀后摘下。

Remembrance Day (also known as Poppy Day or Armistice Day) is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth countries since the end of World War I to remember the members of their armed forces who have died in the line of duty. This day, or alternative dates, are also recognised as special days for war remembrances in many non-Commonwealth countries. Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November to recall the end of hostilities of World War I on that date in 1918. Hostilities formally ended "at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month," in accordance with the Armistice, signed by representatives of Germany and the Entente between 5:12 and 5:20 that morning. ("At the 11th hour" refers to the passing of the 11th hour, or 11:00 am) World War I officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on 28 June 1919.[1]
The day was specifically dedicated by King George V on 7 November 1919 as a day of remembrance for members of the armed forces who were killed during World War I. This was possibly done upon the suggestion of Edward George Honey to Wellesley Tudor Pole, who established two ceremonial periods of remembrance based on events in 1917.[2]
The Initial or Very First Armistice Day was held at Buckingham Palace commencing with King George V hosting a "Banquet in Honour of The President of the French Republic"[3] during the evening hours of November 10, 1919. The First Official Armistice Day was subsequently held on the Grounds of Buckingham Palace on the Morning of November 11, 1919. This would set the trend for a day of Remembrance for decades to come.
The red remembrance poppy has become a familiar emblem of Remembrance Day due to the poem "In Flanders Fields". These poppies bloomed across some of the worst battlefields of Flanders in World War I, their brilliant red colour an appropriate symbol for the blood spilled in the war. -
