It seems as though the meaning of Poppy Day or remembrance day has been lost to some. It has nothing to do with freedom. None of the wars Britain has fought in since WWII has involved any threat to her freedom. The dead from those wars are remembered today as well.

As highlander daz said, today is a day of mourning and reflection.

To wish someone a happy remembrance day is like wishing someone who is about to bury their father a happy funeral.

A sad nit-picking weenie
