I'm sad that alot of youth don't seem to understand the importance of this day.
When I was a kid we were taught to memorize flanders fields, and each class made a wreath that we would give to the vets that would come to our ceremony. I buy a poppy every year but I notice in larger areas like dowtown its not as prevalent, there were tons of people wearing them in ladner and tsawwassen today but i think thats because the population out here is older and they take that extra bit of time to remember and show respect.
