Absolutely! We owe them so much. It wouldn’t feel right not to.

I always buy and wear one. My father was in the army and so was my late husband. The support the British Legion give to ex-service personnel and their families is just brilliant, sadly they don't seem to put out much info about what they actually do and people aren't generally aware of what happens to their money.

Every year on Remembrance Sunday I meet up with my late husband's regimental friends, we attend the parade, spend some time chatting with the veterans and then have lunch together. It's a good way to keep in touch with his friends and always humbling to see the veterans to whom we all owe so much.
