Can I also add that here we too mark the sacrifices. Remembrance Sunday was on Sunday. All over the country there are parades, etc to war memorials with the leading one in London attended by HM and others. In many places such as big rail stations there is a momentary silence on the 11th day of the 11th month being the day WW1 stopped. It is also marked in some Commonwealth countries. Wearing red poppies is a big thing and a reminder of Flanders Field. You are so right that we should all remember the fallen
 
Mansions Of The Lord

To fallen soldiers let us sing

where no rockets fly nor bullets wing

Our broken brothers let us bring

to the mansions of the Lord

No more bleeding no more fight

No prayers pleading through the night

just divine embrace, eternal light

in the mansions of the Lord

Where no mothers cry and no children weep

We will stand and guard tho the angels sleep

All through the ages safely keep the mansions of the Lord


From the movie "We Were Soldiers"
