Wear Your Poppy With Pride.

[Maywalk]

All Will Be Remembered.

Remember all those who have fallen in wars within these last hundred years
Leaving behind their loved ones to grieve and shed their heartbroken tears.
Many thousands buried in other countries and some without a known grave
Sacrificing their lives fighting for freedom so that our lives they could save.

Remember as you go about your daily routine what they all endured for you
And remember them all with pride in your heart in everything that you do.
Husbands, lovers, brothers, sons or uncle who lost his life in his freedom fight
They helped to quell the enemy and to bring the world hope and a ray of light.

So each and every one of them were heroes who are remembered on this day
And may the good Lord keep them in his care and help the sorrow go away.
I wear my poppy with pride as I remember all nations that fought and died
They took on a mammoth task of freedom for all from which they never shied.

My poppy is a token of my deepest respect for all who gave me a full life
As well as those who fought in other wars to stem any on growing strife.
YES I’m very proud to wear my poppy on this special Remembrance Day
God Bless the souls of all who lost their lives in any world wide affray.

Hello.
The Poppy's should be on sale all year round, it is hard to get them some years.
It is not right to bring the poppy's out just for November.

An excellent idea Mahratta you should E-mail The RBL with that one mate

I don't really agree with the year round Poppy idea.
I always feel there's something special about the limited remembrance period. A pause to say thank you at a highly appropriate time to those that made the rest of the rat-race year possible.
Stronger medicine in shorter doses that could be seriously diluted by a year round presence.
Cheers,
Adam.

Bought my poppy today, promptly lost it 5 minutes later. Again. Still I have my little enamel pin badge one that I wear year round.

I brought my poppy last week, however, after a few days it's always very battered.
The RBL have made some pin badges for its members.

I think it's a good idea to make the badges available to everyone, as the poppy doesn't last very long.

It's only for members? Never knew that. I bought mine at Chatsworth Game Fair off the RBL stand, and have done for the last 2 years. But would be a good idea to sell to everyone. I wear mine all the time.

I never seen some one selling "poppy" in Bulgaria.. strange why..

I don't know Dani. It began in America in the early 20s and quickly spread to here. They are sold in the start of November every year to raise money for the Royal British Legion who help all Forces past and present and their dependents.
The red poppy was chosen as they covered the battlefields of Flanders in WW1. The Poppy Appeal raises millions of pounds each year, all of which is put back into helping the Forces community in this country.
