The might have, or they might use it to honor those who attended that also served at some point.

Uhhh its only like THE most popular poem about the war. XD;; written by John McCrae during world war 1, he was a canadian soldier. His poem is practically recited like every remembrance day.

In Flander’s Fields, the poppies grow, between the crosses row on row…and so on.
