Hi Vic,

I'm mostly disturbed knowing that these people are promoting and trying to capitolize their Peace ideals via violating the symbolism and ceremonies of people paying their respects to our Fallen Soldiers. They're violatinmg our Fallen, period and they don't understand that at all.

I'm okay with promoting Peace, I'm not okay with violating the sacredness of what the Poppy and Remembrance Day are all about, and WHO they are for ... our Fallen. The Poppy and Remembrance Day, to me, is the funeral service strictly for the dead.

Go do your Peace promotion with another symbol of your own, independently, and don't violate our Fallen to promote it. It's out of line. Out of context.

Those are some of my own thoughts about this.

I've been invited to go to the local ceremonies to the Cenotaph tomorrow morning, with a neighbor, rather than alone. It will be so nice to go with someone I know personally who cares like I do.
I hope I don't see any white poppies to disturb the focus on our Fallen
