[Flame On]

I proudly wear poppies, for about an hour until it completes it's mission and falls off, requiring me to get another to wear. Which I'm happy to do, I mean it's a lot easier dropping some coins in a plastic box than storming a far off beach with high calibre machine gun fire coming at you and your buddies head gets blown off!
My wife's company has required her to work the last couple of Nov 11th's, which I find appalling.
As for cemeteries etc. in Europe, the ones I have visited in France were huge and on gorgeously manicured grounds surrounded by the beautiful French country side. I was impressed visiting them even as a surly teen. Many of the towns in and around them have Canadian flags (as well as others but lots of Canadian) on flag poles etc. It's moving.
