I think the point was that ours is "Veterans' Day", on which nobody mentions the events of 100 years ago, whereas "Remembrance Day" is actually about the Great War.
> Remembrance Day (sometimes known informally as Poppy Day) is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth of Nations member states since the end of the First World War to remember the members of their armed forces who have died in the line of duty.

Armistice day is November the 11th (1919) and can be commemorated every year. Remembrance day is every November the 11th. Remembrance Sunday is the second Sunday of every November.
When someone observes Remembrance day, on the 11th or the second Sunday, they are Remembering those who have `fallen in the service of their nation`.
Veterans Day is a day that honours those that have served in the US military. Also on November the 11th.
They all share a common history (ie. Armistice day) however they are all subtley different days.
Most Commonwealth nations have Remembrance Day observances, slightly fewer have Remembrance Sunday observances.
Most central European nations observe a similar day in meaning (remembering the dead) but on different dates.
