Today is Remembrance Day when we recall the acts of sacrifice and valour that provide the freedoms we enjoy today. To all veterans past, present and future – thank you.
To those that would strive to pervert this noble tradition, screw you. Here is an article about ‘peace’ groups selling white poppies ‘for peace’. The Legion is taking them on – and my money is with the boys and girls that have served over a bunch of whining hippies. Note that in the article one activist says that the white poppies are distributed free beacuse "peace is free" while one store owner in Edmonton is selling them at $2 each. Nice.
Today of all days is when we remember that peace is NOT free, it comes at a terrible cost. For those that sell, wear and support white poppies this is a lesson you need to learn – your freedom was won at a price by people that you are unfit to share a room with.
