I've always seen Rememberance Day as remembering those who gave their lives so that we can enjoy what we have, how they shouldn't have had to fight for us in the first place, and how we may learn from the mistakes of the past and not repeat them.
Of course, we don't learn anything, but we can still hope we will someday. :P
I wonder if Tim Hortons will put out a Rememberance Day Quarter (http://www.downtownstamps.bc.ca/images/news/poppy.jpg) again this year. Sure it was a marketing scheme and the poppy on the quarters rubbed off easily, but they were cool.
