Like every year we observe the Remembrance Day in the UK today. A day (normally the Sunday closest to November 11) when we remember all those soldiers who put their life on the line of duty so that you and I can live.
Poppies are red flowers which are worn to show others that you are remembering those who died for their country. The reason poppies are used is because they are the flowers which grew on the battle fields after the World War 1 ended.
People normally wear poppies for over a fortnight during this period and make a donation towards supporting those families who have lost one of their loves ones while serving in the line of duty in their country.
This is to salute the spirit of those people who have more pride in serving their country - knowing very well that they put their life in danger by doing so. These soldiers stay away from home for long periods of time, away from their families without any of the comfort in the world so that others like us can stay in a protected environment.
The least we can do is to salute them and show them that the sacrifice they have made has not been forgotten.
We remember them every day; we thank them every day for what they have done for us.
Wear a Poppy, wear it with pride.
