According to treaty, the Great War (First World War) ended on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. This date and time is recognised internationally as being the Hour of Remembrance.
If you factor in the various time-zones, you will see that there is essentially a remembrance service occurring throughout the whole 24 hours of that day.

In the UK we wear poppies on our lapels as a sign of rememberance and poppy wreaths are laid at memorial sites. It is to remember those lost in WW1. The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.

November 11th is known as "Veteran's Day" in the United States, but represents pretty much the same thing.
