Remembrance Day is an annual November event honoring the sacrifices of the Civil War, centered around the anniversary of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address (Nov 19, 1863), featuring a large parade (often the 2nd Saturday) by groups like the Sons of Union Veterans, and the moving Remembrance Day Illumination where candles light the graves in the Soldiers' National Cemetery. It's a significant commemoration with reenactors, ceremonies, and a focus on history and remembrance at the famous battlefield.
