I now wear mine in Sadness,More so with this futile war going on in Iraq ect. (there was no need for it.) I used to be Proud to wear it, more so when finally the Merchant navy men were reconised,(my late dad did his stint in the Korean war.) But now i see a poppy and it tinged with lot of sadness for our young lads who lives have been wasted in todays world.
How do you wear yours?

I do not wear a poppy, instead I wear my retirement pin with pride. I believe that for every military member lost during this campaign either by the enemy or safety issues that they have saved the lives of 158 unarmed innocent civilians of this country. That average is based on the 19 suicide terrorists verses the lives lost on 9-11. It to me is not sadness but pride.
