They joined for many reasons, to march, to sail to fly, they went where they were posted, but nobody joined to die. Their leaders talk on TV saying what else could we have done? But those leaders lost no Daughters and none has lost a Son. So heres to all our soilders wherever they may be, and heres to all their families I raise a glass to thee ...... Wear your Poppy with PRIDE xx

I think more people are wearing poppies this year and there are more variations on the style etc. saw some things on tv like bags and scarves etc where a part of the proceeds go to the usual charities like British Legion etc.

We should never stop wearing poppies, so many people lost in the fight for peace over many lands and many years.
Civilians too, a cousin of my Dad's was an ambulance driver in Bristol, far from her home in Liverpool and was killed driving the ambulance in the blitz, aged just 21. Brave girl!
