Maverickping Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 With "Remembrance Day" arriving shortly, I would urge you instead of going to any store to purchase your poppy go and seek out one of the "Heroes". Ask if you can have your picture taken with him or her as well. Trust me; two people wil be very happy and if you have children, a very good opportunity for them as well! I've been going especially to see this "Hero" for quite a few years now, always in the back of my mind when I enter the mall I wonder whether he will still be there to greet me like an old friend as he is in his nineties now. The best part of this little story; others who were waiting in line to purchase a poppy wanted their picture taken as well with the "Hero". My eyes got a little misty as did the "Hero".
