Remembering
Let us take a moment of our busy lives to remember those who gave their lives so we could live. For all the sons and fathers, uncles, grandfathers, men and women who.. for their countries fought a brave battle, suffered and died, we shall never forget them. Also for those who died in 9/11. Those were the brave, the ones who so unselfishly gave, and are buried some where in an unmarked grave. We don't live in a perfect world. We never will, war goes on in every sense, but for some reason there is no sense. Wear your poppy with PRIDE, the pride of knowing that those who gave their lives, gave their everything. The war memorials over the world are covered in red poppies, each petal represents a life taken. So for all the children who grow up without their fathers, sisters without brothers, mothers without their sons and husbands.... and every one who died, the ones left behind, say a prayer for the wounded and crippled. But never ever forget the dead.

UBS ~ Thanks :-]
They died fighting for us at home.
This Veterans Day will be a very sad one indeed.
Secretia
I was actually given a tour of a military museum by the curator himself recently, and learned the history of the poppy's symbolism. How they really are nurtured by the blood spilled in battle. How fitting indeed.
Secretia ~ yes indeed it will be.
tattytiara ~ we must never forget them.
hi honey. I with you on this. I hate war and I think it is a waste to lose life...so many effected and so much sadness is shared.
No we won't ever forget those brave people living and dead.
