Remembrance Day

Remembrance Day is a day to remember the people who sacrificed their lives at the World World 1. It is always celebrated on the 11th day of the 11th month(Nov 11). Remembrance Day started when the World War 1 ended on Nov.11,1918. King George V dedicated this day to remember all of the members of the armed forces who died at the war. We celebrate Remembrance Day because we want to remember all of the one hundred thousand people who died at the war to save our lives. We celebrate Remembrance Day on November 11 by we pause for two minutes to remember all of the members at the war. We also attend ceremonies.

Personally I think that Remembrance Day is a great holiday to celebrate. When we celebrate Remembrance Day, we remember all of the members of the armed forces that lost their lives in order to save our homes and our lives. Also without the sacrifices of the people at war, we would probably be living a different life right now. We are living a peaceful life thanks to the people who fought for us. Remembrance Day is a great holiday to celebrate because without Remembrance Day, we would not remember all of the people who died to save our lives.
