January 15 has never escaped my mind, this is the first special day that I was able to think of. January 15th in my country, Nigeria is a special remembrance day for the armed forces. Many soldiers lost their lives in war, like world war 1 and II, and also the Nigerian civil war. On this day the Biafran troops in Nigeria surrendered which marked the end of the civil war.
