Have you bought your poppy a gesture of appreciation to all the veterans?
I really feel passionate about this.
I go into the local small town grocery store and outside stands a veteran selling poppies. Inside the store not one of the staff had a poppy on. Men and women put their lives on hold, and some lost their life, so we could live in a free society. And here, we have business people not giving a damn. They don't even stop at 11am to give a moment of silence (last year). How dreadful.

If nothing else I hope to spread this word and make a little difference in our otherwise thoughtless unapprecative world. Please show your support and bring attention to this lack in attitude.
