poppies?
I was wondering if the veterans groups in this country still do the poppy on veterans day. I was out shopping today, and saw three people wearing the poppies, they were all Canadians. When I asked them where the got them they told me they got them in Canada. It seems that some in this country have forgotten. I am not a veteran, but I do not know how one could forget those who made such sacrifices, both in time and energy, let alone those who made the ultimate sacrifice. My family has had many who served this country since the Revolutionary War, my Great-grandfather was at Gettysburg, he was with the 5th New York Cavalry, one uncle served in the Navy during WWI, another was in the Army during WWII, he was in the army of occupation in Japan. My brother was in Korea serving in the Marines. We need not to forget these men and women.
