I intend to go to a dawn service for the first time - my grandfather was in the RAAF and my grandmother served in the women's auxillary during WWII and now they're both gone I want to pay my respects for the work they did and the ultimate sacrifice of others in their generation.\nThe afternoon - BBQ, beers and 2-Up I think, a classic Anzac Day!!

Memorial Day is in celebration of all people who have passed away. Veterens Day is a time to remember the men and women who served their country in the armed forces.

It is a day to refrain from physical labor/work.\nIt is a day of communing with the Creator.\nIt is a day spent with family; encouraging & blessing them in front of the other family members. A day to 'recharge' onself & ones' family. To connect with loved ones.

in israel there are official ceremonies all day long, with everyone remembering their loved ones who perished in the struggle to protect our country... its very emotional because there are, unfortunately, TONS of victims, so every single community has lost someone... in our community we have a girl who lost her sister and father in a terror attack at a resturant, the night before the sister's (who died) wedding. so, this year that girl- who is around 14- wrote a speech about her father and sister, how she misses them, how she manages to keep living...\nall in all, Memorial Day here is very serious and official, very well-respected nationally. on the eve and the morning of the holiday there is a 2 minute siren, in which the ENTIRE country stops whatever they were doing in order to respect and remember the victims...\none very unusual thing here, is that the saddest day of the year turns into the happiest day of the year when, at dusk, memorial day turns into Independance day!!

Woman's input:\nValentines Day is good but the day before is more Romantic.  Then you have the present: flowers, candy, etc. the next day to further say it all over again.  Real clincher.

"True meaning"?\n\nI get nervous anytime someone even mentions "true meaning". It's usually a sign that we're all about to get preached to.\n\nBut if you'd like to know why we have a holiday called Veteran's Day, you can read about the history of thecommenorative  holiday here:\n\nhttp://www1.va.gov/opa/vetsday/vetdayhistory.asp\n\nAnd you can also check Veteran's Day FAQ here:\n\nhttp://www1.va.gov/opa/vetsday/vetday_faq.asp

I will be one of the guards at the Cenotaph, standing at the Rest on Arms Reversed for the duration of the parade, service and laying of the wreaths.\n\nFollowing that, I will go to the Legion and spend time with the vets, talk to them, learm what I can from them.\n\nAnd following that, I am going out on the town with some other guys from my unit and I am going to have a damned fine time and raise glasses in the names of my friends and fellow soldiers who are currently serving overseas.
