So worldwide 11/11 is known as Armistice day, in many countries poppies are worn and its a day where we collectively pause to remember those that died in the two great wars of our history. However in the US its knows as Veterans day and instead you honour the living and remember the dead on a different day in the year.
My question is as Americans would you prefer to join the rest of the ww2 nations on this day and formally mark WW2 and WW1? Also why is it that the US marks the differently?
