In Flanders Fields

[mpholland]

So the wife went in to Safeway to get a coffee the other morning. There were a bunch of teenagers in front of her and one of them had a red poppy. The others were asking her what it was for and she said "I don't know, they handed it to me on my way in. I think it has something to do with the military". Don't they teach this stuff in school anymore? I can't imagine we have regressed to the state that nobody has a clue why we celebrate memorial day anymore, but it seems to be getting worse every year. Anyway, a couple of of family pics for the day.
