[Barrie Yates]

I wear a red Poppy, I have done for as long as I can remember. I wear one in remembrance of all who have given their lives and to those who have had their lives irrevocably changed by injuries, both physical and mental, that they have endured. A few were friends who weren't as lucky as I.
I wear a Poppy in respect to all those who gave their all and to demonstrate my respect for the families of all those who have suffered through all the wars - the major conflicts and the brush fire wars. Nobody glorifies war, it is hateful, but respect the ones who served.
A question has been asked on how the Poppy should be worn - there is only one way. Wear it with pride.
