Should Remembrance Day be a Statutory Holiday?

rather than one day off we should have the 11th and the nearest weekend be a stat holiday

after serving my country for 36 plus years I do not believe that Remembrance Day should be a holiday , I think that schools should pick a local ceremony and make it mandatory for all to attend , All business should be made to observe a 30 min pause on the Day from 1045 to 1115 and if they cannot attend a ceremony than organsize something in the workplace, all but essential services should be mandated to stop for the the same period , this needs to apply to all citizens and those who wish to be so that they realize the sacrifices that have and continue to be made to ensure that we can live in a free society .


anyways, my thoughts , We Will Remember Them

My worst fear was that it was going to be left behind. Thank God ... they're bringing it home!
