Armistice Day/Veterans Day/Rememberance Day....

Question

Moe's poppy reminded me of this. Last year I was in Kuwait durring this time and all the Bristish soldiers were wearing poppies. The tables in the dining facility were all done up with table cloths and poppies all over them.

Hopefully they do something like that here. Although, I do get two beers on the Marine Corps birthday. Hoorah!

So, having said all that.... Thanks to all who have served!

• Thank YOU! Now, as you can see, the emphasis is on YOU. How would that be done in español? Somehow muchas gracias just doesn't seem to work. - Yeser007 Nov 8, 2009

Answer 1

Here is perhaps a clearer image of the poppy Canadians wear on their lapel, coat, sweater jacket or other outerware. It simply speaks to all Canadians "I remember".

At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Answer 2

Gracias, Phil, bonito hilo

Otra cosa que no ocurre en este país...parece que es una vergüenza servir a la patria

Yesero: en este caso dirías: Muchas gracias a TI.

The story behind the poppy

Answer 4

My daughter learned three new songs to remember them and even learned sign language to one. On Saturday, we marched in the parade.

Thank YOU! You know who you are!
