In the Philippines the Manila American Cemetery members of the Philippine Scouts and Philippine Army units that fought with us are entitled to be interred there.
I think there are some commemorative ceremonies in these places even though they are not celebrated as a holiday.

I hope that everyone take a minute to think about what this day really means--and to take a minute to think about how much better of a life everyone have because of the brave men and women who sacrafice their life for all of us.
