peanuts Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I am not a badge of honour,I am not a racist smear,I am not a fashion statement,To be worn but once a year,I am not glorificationOf conflict or of war.I am not a paper ornamentA token,I am more.I am a loving memory,Of a father or a son,A permanent reminderOf each and every one.Im paper or enamelI'm old or shining new,I'm a way of saying thank you,To every one of you.I am a simple poppyA Reminder to you all,That courage faith and honour,Will stand where heroes fall.Wear your Poppy with pride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego_Sideburns Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Latics fans have successfully fostered Anglo-German relations for the last 32 years, and a representative of Eintracht Frankfurt will be present at Oldham's War Memorial next Sunday for the Remembrance Day Service, 100 years since Britain's entry into the First World War. Oldham Council has a site remembering all those who died in conflicts old and new. http://www.oldham.gov.uk/remembrance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
