Brother Buck,
While I certainly can not speak for the National organization, I don't see why you can not use Remembrance Day. There are no rules about using that name in the C&R, National Digest of the Order, or SVR Regulations. The National Committee is for the "Order's November Remembrance Day Program at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania". And finally, nobody has trademarked "Remembrance Day".
I'd check with the National Committee on Remembrance Day before changing the name of your event.
FCL,
Ed
