One Week Until Remembrance Day ( although in todays world we should remember everyday)

The annual poppy campaign had been underway since last Friday, of course it's done in honour of fallen Vets, ........they were victims of war,however we should also remember the people at home ,where many housewives worked for the war effort too.

                                                                                                                              

 

 

 

......Throw a little something in one of the volunteer poppy seller's boxes,& if you care to,wear your poppy to Remember them,  or simply make a small donation ,everything helps...a small price ,considering what price many of the Vets paid,and we now have more & more veterans who have done modern day service in what can only be imagined as some real hell on earth places, (regardless of who sent them there & why)  So if you support the cause ,I'm sure they would thank you, & if you don't ,then that is your right to do so,(the Vets saw to it that each & everyone of us,has that right,.....it's called Freedom)

Amen to that. Freedom is not free. Go to any veterans cemetery anywhere in the world, and we can see what price it cost. God bless our veterans, and those that keep the home fires burning.

My dad was a veteran and I believe he left this earth early because of the damage 5 years of war inflicted on him.

I still rember all the men that served overseas during the war. It seemed to me like most of them had aloholic problems. Then again maybe it was just 3rd Avenue..... But they did serve their time in hell, and now hopefully they can rest in peace in heaven.... They all gave their all!!!!
