On 11 November, we commemorate Remembrance Day. This is the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice of 1918 that ended fighting in World War I. On this day, we commemorate all who have died or suffered in wars, conflicts and peace operations.
Whatever form it takes, commemoration focuses on the contribution and sacrifice of veterans and serving personnel across time. It involves honouring, remembering, thanking and renewing connections with those who have served.

The Department of Veterans' Affairs also has a Remembrance Day Kitbag to help commemorate the day, which includes:
