To those of you in the UK (and anywhere else that happens to do this) If you see someone selling the poppies please buy one from them and wear it. The 11th of November being Remembrance Day - the day when everything should stop to commemerate those who gave their lives in any conflict for freedom. Please support those who still suffer because of past conflicts by wearing your poppy with pride.

Thankyou.

Wear a poopie? I shall do no such thing! :D


poopie? a joke or a typo? and if a typo, why not? FYI. the poppies are worn to commorate many soldiers who died in battle. The poppy was used as they grew over the battlefield afterward. if i remember correctly.

As a soldier in the Australian Army and a veteran of three theatre's of operation's I will be remembering. Its one minute of your life to remember those who gave up their's in the name of freedom. Even if you dont stop to remember, at least buy a poppie. Lest we forget
