Let We Forget
It appears this year Canadians are buying more poppies than ever before. Some attribute it to the September 11th attacks last year, some think it's the new stylish back-centered poppies. Now, I know the green represented the green of Flanders Fields, but I haven't heard the official story behind the new black. Mourning? Maybe because poppies really are black inside.
For the first time in my life, I received poppies in the mail. Maybe that's the reason poppies are in short supply, people think the Legion envelope is junk mail and toss it without getting the poppies inside.
