Interesting thread Dave. My papa, who recently passed away aged 99.5, was a field nurse who witnessed the evacuations, d-day and everything in between. He died unfortunately just a week before the d-day anniversary where he was due to be on the cruise ship that was chartered to bring the surviving vets to the beaches. He always wore a poppy but rarely talked about his experience so I understand why you have an internal dilemma. In the end, we are all different and so how you chose to mark the occasion is personal. Whichever way you choose, respect to you pal. One love.
Personally speaking, i have utmost respect for those who stand up and be counted. Irrespective of the political reasons why this happens, i have massive respect for anyone that chooses to be counted. When it come to the war and the Great War, i can’t even imagine the fear that millions had and i hope that my children never have to experience it.
