Strange – in Germany, on November 11 at 11:11 carnival preparation start, and all carnival enthusiasts celebrate.

In the UK we have a silence for 2 minutes at 11:00. |
Is there anywhere in the world that commemorates at 11:11? In Britain, the commemoration is the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" and in keeping with the armistice. In fact, it's on the closest Sunday, but it's still at 11 o'clock. |
yeah ok ok..mea culpa.. that was my mistake.. its supposed to be stricly 1100hrs only!! :)-

Google Canada also has a special logo today that runs a search for Remembrance Day. http://www.google.ca/search?q=remembrance+day

Today, in France, it was just "legal holiday". Nothing more except some commemorations in front of war memorials. |
In India we dont have any :-( |
where is the logo in the US? seems to me the USA had a part in WW 1.0.. |
I didn't see anything here either ... oh well, I always like to see the new Google logos |
Doesn't the US have both Veterans Day and Memorial Day? Aren't they basically the same thing?
