November is the time of the year when we wear a red poppy in memory of those who sacrificed their lives for the sake of their community and their country. The eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month marks the signing of the Armistice, on 11th November 1918, to signal the end of World War One.This year sees the 90th anniversary of the end of the First World War, which is likely to be the last major anniversary to be witnessed by those who fought so bravely between 1914 and 1918.
Our pages on Remembrance are a tribute to those who gave all for a country they loved. www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/customs/Remembrance.html
Remembrance is not about glorifying war. It’s about remembering those who did their very best in frightening and dangerous circumstances for the sake of their community and their country.
We shall always remember them with pride, where ever they lay, for their courage, valour and self sacrifice!

I am in Ontario Canada and always remember Nov.11 by wearing a poppy.
I am wondering though if someone could do something about the dangerous pin that is part of the poppy.I have often poked myself and others and I am concerned also for children.
Could someone tell me who I could talk to that manufactures these poppies and that would switch over to a small safety pin instead.
I actually had an employee that used to convert poppies to a safety pin and that was nice.
I would like to see if someone could contact me at 1-519-999-4142 with information on the manufacturer so I could discuss this further.
Thanks, Jake Dyck
