Veteran's Day/Remembrance Day

[Reserved Parkin]

Happy Veterans/Armistice/Whatever your country calls it Day. Much respect to the vets who came before, after, the wounded, the killed.

I wanted to get a white poppy so I could show respect for the people who died during war while also show my stance of being anti war, however sadly no one sold them.

Red Poppy > White Poppy

Red poppies are so mainstream.

I'd just like to say.

I love you, Sambo. Thanks for serving in the U.S. army and helping keep America safe.

Would it have been more acceptable if they were sipping poppy juice?

Remembrance Sunday is tomorrow.

If the leaf on your poppy isn't pointing to 11 o'clock on the clockface, I will hunt down and kill every one of your new born children, Facepunch.

I played Taps at a few school ceremonies. Almost cried listening to the younger kids sing.

My dorm is right next to Royal Albert Hall, I just went out back to see the Royal Family come in. I saw the Queen, she was 5m away from the curb where I stood.
