Yours is the profession of arms, the will to win, the sure knowledge that in war there is no substitute for victory, that if you lose, the Nation will be destroyed, that the very obsession of your public service must be Duty, Honor, Country.... This doesn't mean that you are warmongers. On the contrary, the soldier above all other people prays for peace, for he must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.

I'm surprisingly uninformed, it seems. Do other countries also celebrate Remembrance Day? Here, in Australia, it's primarily celebrating the ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps.) and I always assumed that it was only Australia who celebrated it.
