In our little town, we have a small parade and still do the poppy ceremony. My daughter and I went to it and she got a poppy and tootsie rolls (I have no idea why the tootsie rolls..) It's a beautiful day out. I just wish there was a bit more wind so that our flag would fly a bit better.
We cherish too, the Poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led,
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies.
Does anyone know the original name of memorial day?
