Every few years in the city of Surabaya there's huge ceremonies for "Hero's Day". Streets are cleared from traffic and re-enactment brigades numbering in the thousands would relive the battles in the streets of Surabaya.

Just to add to God4sakens post, Australians wear a sprig of Rosemary on ANZAC day, Rosemary for rememberance and also because it grew wild on the slopes of Gallipoli, and on the 11th of November we wear the red poppy as grew in the fields of Flanders, we observe the 1 min of silence at 11am and the last post is played at our cenotaphs.
