Memorial Day in the USA and Beverley in the UK

Time to build a castle.
Is it good or bad that Canada and the USA celebrate our veterans on different days? Why make remembering our veterans a once a year thing? I like to wear red every Friday to remind myself to think about the freedom I have because of many people who sacrificed their lives for the greater good.
Happy Holidays Beverley! 10 days in touring England – I am sure she will have a tale to tell when she gets back.
