When I lived in the US, Veterans day usually meant a visit to the air show or a picnic followed by fireworks.
Since moving up here to Canada I have found a different view.
Each November 11th, at exactly 11:00, everything stops. People attending graveside memorials, those on the sidewalks, in the mall, everywhere, stop, bow their heads, and stand in silence for 2 minutes.
This video brings a lump to my throat each year.
