So, at what point will we no longer need to remember this day, at least in a moment of silence type of way? It has been, what...90+ years? that would put anyone who fought in it at the age of 105-110, minimum. Don't get me wrong, i understand the purpose, but just like the US doesn't take a moment of silence to specifically remember those that died in the civil war (a war ~60 years earlier).

Just wondering.

It's also now used for soldiers who've lost their lives in more recent times.
I tried to do my minute silence here in Japan - no one really noticed me though.
