I did not watch the Remembrance Day ceremonies this morning, but I did wear the poppy and read and listened to news about the events on the web. Rather too convenient and I am bothered by this. I live in a city where the poppy is still optional in some people's minds and the veteran whom I received mine from was bitter about his retirement plans.
I hope that people do remember what these men and women gave over several conflicts and what our soldiers are still giving today (whatever you may think of our government's policies in Afghanistan or the U.S. here and in Iraq, these soldiers deserve our respect and thoughts).
