We also have a National Poppy Day to remember our war dead National Poppy Day® May 22, 2020.

Have friends in Europe and I agree, they have a much more personal view of what that day meant. I think the are better at teaching the upcoming generations on legacy than we are. Pearl Harbor day is hardly observed anymore and if you have a conversation with recently graduated grand kids they have no idea what that meant. We no longer teach.
