Remembrance Day is not so much about in the psyche of those who didn’t serve or have family who did, and they are becoming fewer. The Vietnam conflict was never seen as “patriotic “ as the WWs by many, and the ME wars were often seen as “none of our business “, unless you had family members involved.
