More and more people especially younger people are refusing to wear the red poppy. They cite many reasons from the mass marketing " society insists you wear one" to the newer ideas of wearing the poppy supports our involvement in illegal wars.

I however wouldn't care about any of those reasons, as put simply buying and wearing a red poppy raises money for our ex soldiers and the families of soldiers who need our support after the sacrifices they have made to keep us safe in our beds.

Wearing a little red poppy for a couple of weeks is actually the least I can do to say thank you ....
