Question for the Brits...

Poppies are not just to remember the dead of WW1 (now) but all wars and conflicts.


They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old,
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn,
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning
We will remember them......we will remember them.

On Friday last a gentleman wrote out a cheque for £50. to the Poppy Appeal, you would be surprised at the different ages that talk to us of relatives that have served and in some cases died in conflicts since 1914.
Below, hopefully! is the "Kohima" poem.

"WHEN YOU GO HOME TELL THEM OF US AND SAY,
"FOR YOUR TOMORROW WE GAVE OUR TODAY"

 

My wife has a very distant relative (still alive) who was at Kohima.

 

YES!! We will remember them. & not just at 11/11 each year I hope.

 

when the sun goes downand in the morning we will remember them

 

by the way i was out selling popies on sat and on sunday i was in the parade

 

and i was with to many popie sellers we were only a few meters away from each other in my local shopping center

 

It's good to see poppies being sold and worn. It's just a small mark of respect, given to those who did more for us than we could ever imagine.
