I have overheard a lot of people calling Monday a
holiday. No, it isn't. A holiday celebrates something. Monday is Remembrance day. A time to mourn, a time to remember
sacrifices people made so that things as mundane as this blog, or things as
bizarre as Rob Ford, or even things as everyday as offering your opinion could
happen.
Wearing the poppy means you understand and respect that
others died fighting for freedom, fighting for the rights of others and
fighting for a way of life.
I have heard people question if we should honour war. It isn't about war. Most of the people who fought would not tell
you they liked war. They didn't enjoy
killing. They didn't want to rob anyone
of their life. They did it because they
were sent.
Monday is about the people who fought. It isn't about the politicians, or oil
companies or anything else. It's about
regular people who didn't know if they would come home or not.
Donate money and wear your poppy proudly.
