I was saddened when Rememberance Day (Nov. 11 here) was made into a statutory holiday. When I was a kid the school made a point of talking about when and who and why we were remembering. Mr. Wormspecker our janitor told us tales of near starvation and occupation when he was our age that made it real to us. Now it is just another day off.
Last year an 8 year old from youth group asked "war is bad, why should we remember it." No-one had explained it to him.
