In the states it's known as Veteran's Day, but occurs on November 11th, the aniversary of the signing of the armistice, ending World War I. The poppy sales proceeds were originally supposed to go towards funding WWI veteran retirement homes, but since there are so few left the money now goes to other veteran service organizations.
