I bought my poppy over the weekend. Every year, veterans take up the stand outside local stores and give away paper poppies with the hope that you will donate. I always do. I have always thought of it as my duty, especially now, during wartime. There are brave young men and women who are giving up their lives, their limbs, their time to serve their country. They weren't drafted, they asked to serve, they went willingly.
And I think of the veterans of wars past. There are veterans from Vietnam, Korea, The Gulf War, WWII, they all served bravely, and deserve our thanks.
