I will always wear a red poppy with pride. My uncle died in the 2nd world war and ive found his grave site on the Commonwealth Graves website. We have a photo of him sat there in his uniform. My brother has his medals somewhere. Wearing a red poppy is in rememberance of him and a way of giving thanks to all the people who have fought in wars through the years. The Royal British Legion do sterling work helping ex soldiers and navy and airforce personnel so why not support them? They fought for us so why cant we give something back to them when they need it?
