As I sit here looking at the Poppies that my dear friend Bru sent me last year, I realize that in a lot of places in the US we still do not give proper respect to our servicemen. Bru sent me the poppies because I could not find any to purchase around where I live. I found out from many of my friends that they had the same experience.
I love the Canada recognizes their vets. I wish we did more here.
It doesn't matter if this is a popular war or not, the fact remains, we have men that have decided to put their lives on the line and for that very brave act they deserve our respect. People seem to forget that it isn't just the men and women fighting now, we are honoring ALL the vets, from ALL the wars, or during peacetime, alive or dead, they are true heroes.
Thank you again Bru for the wonderful poppies.
