Commemoration Day

30

Nov

Commemoration Day, marked on November 30, is a special day in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to remember and honor the brave soldiers who lost their lives serving their country. It's a day to show respect and gratitude to those who worked hard to keep everyone safe. People in the UAE pause to think about these heroes and the sacrifices they made. It's a bit like how we have moments to say thank you to our everyday heroes, but this day is set aside to remember the soldiers who are no longer with us.

How to celebrate Commemoration Day?

Start your day by raising a flag in your garden or balcony, showing pride and respect. Wear clothes with colors that represent your country. Gather with your family and friends to remember the heroes by sharing stories or watching a patriotic movie together. Light candles to honor those who served, and have a moment of silence. You can also draw or paint pictures to express gratitude. Visit a local memorial, if possible, placing flowers or flags there. Finally, prepare a special dinner with favorite foods and share what you're thankful for, appreciating the freedom and peace you enjoy today.
