It should absolutely be a National holiday, and schools should spend the week before educating students on the realities of WWI.
I recently watched Apocalypse: WWI, which really opened my eyes to the depth of sacrifice and suffering faced by the soldiers. As a result, this Remembrance Day will be more than a day off work.
I haven't watched it, but WWI In Color is available on YouTube, and may be a good place for anyone not familiar with the War to gain an appreciation.
