Tuesday is Veterans Day here in the States. Because the Civil War gave us a Memorial Day which predated World War I, we use November 11 slightly differently than the rest of the world. We honor our veterans, while elsewhere in Europe and the Commonwealth, it is Armistice or Remembrance Day, commemorating the end of that war and remembering the fallen.

To help mark the day and the period leading up to it, we’ve added some new Poppies to our Shapes collection.

And don’t forget to visit the sites of the Royal British and Royal Canadian Legions.
