Remembrance and memorials

Remembrance and memorials refer to the practices and structures that honor and remember individuals, events, or groups, particularly those who have suffered or sacrificed, such as soldiers in wars. Remembrance includes various activities like memorial services or moments of silence, while memorials are physical objects like statues, plaques, or dedicated sites. These acts serve to acknowledge the past, foster collective memory, and ensure that significant contributions and sacrifices are not forgotten. They play a crucial role in promoting reflection, respect, and a sense of community among those who commemorate these events or individuals.
