I remeber, dedicate and respect, in my own private way.

I buy a poppy as my way of contributing to the cost of help for those service personel, both past and present who find themselves in need in whatever way.

Whilst I truly beleive in what the poppy stands for and represents, I feel that the poppy apeal itself, like so many other fine charitable events, is something that should never have had to be formed, what the poppy apeal pays for along with all the other fine work the Royal British Liegon does, should be provided by the the British government, something I doubt any taxpayer would begrudge.
