Next week I'm on Poppy selling duty in the entrance to the local supermarket (the only time I go in there - they belong to Walmart - 'nuff said!)
The Royal British Legion is a UK charity providing lifelong support for the Royal Navy, British Army, Royal Air Force, Reservists, veterans, and their families. Every year in the run-up to Remembrance Sunday (the nearest Sunday to November 11th - the date of the end of WW1) they organize the poppy collection.
We used to stand in the street with a tray of poppies round our necks but there were a few muggings and the RBL decided we couldn't stand outside anymore.
Sadly there are those who object to the poppies and the remembrance services because they think it "glorifies" war. It doesn't. It helps ex-service personnel and their families who have suffered as a result of war and who are in need as a result of their service.
