Re: Poppies

It's uber Canadian, like stated already bc of Flanders Field

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders Fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders Fields.

- John McCrae

Re: Poppies

Nice sir.

Bought another one today. Getting to the point where each jacket will have it's own poppy.

Re: Poppies

So all of your jackets look like you stepped out of a Michael Jackson video?

I used to get them in Elementary School. Haven't seen them since though, but I don't think I'd get one anyway.
Why?

Re: Poppies

I use to wear them when I was younger, but I don't wear them any more. Although I do donate to the collection boxes if I see them around the shops, college, etc. My dad always wears a poppy though, he was part Canadian and he was told he lost alot of relatives in the war, which isn't surprising seeing as Canada lost about 1% of their male population in world war one. Although I have been taught that remembrance day isn't just the time to think of the men who where lost in the fighting, but also any relatives you've lost in general by any way possible.

Re: Poppies

I just don't see the point in buying a flower/pin/etc. when it's not going to bring the person back from the dead. No disrespect meant (ffs my dad was in Vietnam and my grandad was in WWII) but if I were to give money to something to honor troops it'd probably be the ones that are still alive and dealing with mental disorders and such. Even then I either don't have the money or don't know where to look for that sort of thing.

Its not about bringing anyone back its about remembering those who have paid the ultimate sacrafice (in any war) just so we could go about our daily lives as normal

Where do you think the money for poppies goes? I'm pretty sure they don't burry it for the dead. I believe it goes to veterans.
