Fliterman,

Thank you sir for you service.

I just wanted to say that for no particular reason.

Nose,

I found them in Atlanta International. They’re the best we have. I’m happy to buy them a cold one.

Good find. Can’t say more. Speechless. Unusual for a blowhard like me.

Thanks, CAPT Lex. Brought back some good memories, sir. Thank you.

i echo flit, bou and kris (but especially flit) on the topic of the poppies. every year i buy a handful and pass them around to those who most appear (to me) to need the slightest nudge to remember “why” there are poppies to be worn…

..and i always save one poppy, and that one dangles from my rear view mirror, getting faded daily by the sun, but always there as a reminder. until the next year, when i get a new vibrant red one again.

Ditto on the poppies here in CT. I bought one over the weekend. I always make a donation when I see them being sold.

But I do worry as well – it’s only been WWII vets selling them for a long time now. What happens when they are gone?

Virgil- They still sell poppies where I live. I bought one Sunday from a Veteran, standing outside our grocery store. They sell there every year and I make a donation in turn. I have the paper poppy attached to my purse. Everyone I know buys them… and the WWII vet I bought it from was affiliated with the VFW.
