Poppies and rememberance

TheCatWoman

Do you wear a poppy and go to rememberance services?

I feel really ambivalent about them and it. I wish there was more focus on those who came/come back brokens. I say this as the Grandaughter of one of the "lions led by donkey's", my Grandda suffered from what we now know as PTSD, he sacrificed his sanity and the legacy still runs through our family to this day. Why do we not remember the sacrifice people like him made?

  • I don't go to the rememberance service as there's too much noise and too many people, result is always me having a meltdown so I don't do that. It's better for everyone that way. But I do buy and wear a poppy every year, to show support and remember those brave and kind people. At work we had someone do some baking to raise money, they made fairy cakes that looked like poppies.
