Was very touching an emotional yesterday.
"They fought and died for you"
It's sad after all these reminders that wars continue full blast all over the planet and the conflict continues.

I think its sad that South Africa does not have a culture of poppy day probably since the Nats came into power in the late '40's. Like most other countries, they seem to look on it as a "British colonial" thing. Growing up in the then Rhodesia, poppy day and armistice day was a big thing. Nowadays, poppy day honours the fallen not just for the 1st World War but for all wars.
