Honouring Them

Today I have more of the window displays at this shop in Hintonburg marking Remembrance Day, with a variety of items commemorating the times of world wars and military conflicts. Tomorrow I move over to the national service of remembrance.

    I loved poppies all my life - innocently.
    Now I certainly have an other, important aspect.

    As a boy, I recall having one of those posters showing various kinds of military aircraft hanging on my bedroom door.

    Those poppies carry so much meaning. I'm thinking they are more popular in Canada than USA these days. Janis
