[Healeys] Memorial Day

[Patrick and Caroline Quinn]

G'day

 

Two very important days.

 

I can see how Armistice Day (Nov 11th) could easily evolved into Veteran's
Day. Does the country observe a minute's silence at 11am on the 11th
November like they do here? Armistice Day is not a holiday in Australia.

Patrick,

Just to clarify a bit, Memorial Day is a federal holiday and celebrated
nationwide.  And although it's generally seen as the first weekend of summer
its real significance is to honor our countrymen and women who have died in
battle.  Veteran's Day (Nov. 11) is our day to respect those who serve and
have served in our military.
