Global Observances Mark Remembrance and Veterans Day

Remembrance Day and Veterans Day were solemnly observed in various locations worldwide, including ceremonies in Canada, New Zealand, and the United States. The MUHC in Canada hosted a parade and ceremony with a moment of silence, while Waipawa, New Zealand, held a service at the War Memorial Clock to commemorate local WWI losses. In Richmond, Canada, street closures facilitated a Remembrance Day service with veterans and cadets. The United States observed Veterans Day with government and bank closures, and special deals for veterans at major retailers and restaurants. These commemorations reflect a global effort to remember the sacrifices made by military personnel across conflicts.
