I am a Second World War veteran.
However, I wonB次元官网网址檛 be wearing a poppy. I donB次元官网网址檛 buy the B次元官网网址渟pinB次元官网网址 placed on wearing poppies.
We didnB次元官网网址檛 go to war to be heroes, or to protect our B次元官网网址渇reedom.B次元官网网址
It was a job for some, an opportunity for others (remember the armies of the unemployed in the 1930s) and an adventure for youngsters like me, not to mention just plain reluctant conscripts.
Some did perform heroic deeds when faced with the challenge.
We should remember all those who were killed and focus our efforts on finding more peaceful ways to resolve conflicts.
IB次元官网网址檓 happy to donate to helping veterans, though would like to see our government doing a better job of caring for disabled vets.
