Create a public holiday in November to honour and remember our veterans

We think we need a Veterans Day as in the US to honour and remember them, both living and dead. As veterans of World Wars and global conflicts die and grow fewer, their stories could be lost to future generations. Their sacrifices could go unhonoured save for 2 minutes each year when people stand silently and then go back to their day. A Veterans Day public holiday the day after Remembrance Sunday could allow us all to spend time with our families to honour the fallen and those serving today. Time to reflect on their sacrifices and educate future generations in the process.
