About the Event
PAUSE | REFLECT | REMEMBER
On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, we pause to remember.
Armistice Day, also known as Remembrance Day, marks the end of hostilities on the Western Front in 1918. It is a time to honour the courage, service and sacrifice of those who served, and to remember those who never returned.
SAMVO invites our veterans, families and friends around the world to observe a moment of silence at 11 am local time on 11 November. Whether attending a remembrance service, gathering with fellow veterans or reflecting quietly at home, we stand together in remembrance.
We also hold in our thoughts those who carry the lasting effects of service, and the families who have stood beside them.
We will remember them. Lest we forget.
