Remembrance Day
Remembrance Day
Remembrance Day[1] is a holiday recognized by Starfleet to pay tribute to those lost in the pursuit of exploration on October 4th[2]. Starfleet officers, scientists, and civilians are all recognized. The common display of recognition is the wearing of small pins that bear the name of a ship that was lost. The ship named on the pin need not be one which the wearer served on.
"To be the first to enter the cosmos, to engage, single-handed, in an unprecedented duel with nature-could one dream of anything more?"
Yuri Gagarin
"All of a sudden, space isn't friendly. All of a sudden, it's a place where people can die...Many more people are going to die. But we can't explore space if the requirement is that there be no casualties; we can't do anything if the requirement is that there be no casualties."
Isaac Asimov
"Many of us have known those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Officers, scientists, civilians who gave their lives in the hope for galactic peace. Today we remember the friends and comrades we lost. Exploration can exact a heavy toll. As Captain, there is no loss more devastating that that of a crew member. Remembrance Day is about them."
Captain Christopher Pike
