I wear a poppy to remember the sacrifices of those that came before me, and continue to sacrifice today. I hope that the meager quarters, loonies and townies, add up to something that gives some small gratitude back.
I like to buy poppies from the veterans themselves, when I have the chance. Usually in the malls rather then the store.
I feel sad, not because of what has occurred, or a specific conflict was fought....but that WHY these sacrifices were made seem lost on a new generation.
Never forget
