Well Dakka the year hath completed its full circle and here we come to again, Poppy Day.

So will you be honouring our brave troops and the departed? And will you be wearing your poppy and observing the silence?

And have you any thoughts on this?

I know i will.

Isn't Remembrance day Nov 11th?

I usually just continue on from the Marine Corps birthday, do some thinking, do some remembering... have a couple slugs of whiskey with any of my mates in town. There's usually a wreath laying at the local veteran's cemetery or Memorial Park I try to get to...

It's been hijacked in recent years by whinging WAGs and as such I no longer wear a poppy, though I did until a few years ago. I still donate money, but how much and who to my business and my business alone.
