    Granted the singing isn't the best but it's the reasoning behind the singing that is important. Whilst our soldiers do their duty overseas they leave behind wives, families and friends that suffer just as much emotional stress as our troops. This singing is to show recognition for both sides of the same coin, showing support for the soldiers and rallying together as those that have to suffer so that we may have the freedoms we enjoy.

    To all you guys talking about the singing quality: I think that fact that this is just a bunch of ordinary women, who are armature singers, makes the whole thing much better than if pro-singers had been involved. Don't you have any feels guys?

    Not often am I moved to tears. But rooted in the very soil the poppies grew, I stand in admiration and thankfulness. The ladies are unforgatteble, as are those who served... Too often people forget about the 'service' part of Military Service; I don't.

    It is so great to know the poppy is just as meaningful in Europe as the "Buddy Poppy" is in the United States. It's heart inspiring to see the look in veterans eyes as we hand them a "Buddy Poppy". Sometimes it's a tear and sometimes it's a smile. Our "Buddy Poppy" is constructed by veterans in nursing homes and purchased from them by us, Veterans of Foreign Wars. We then distribute to anyone who wants to display "they care".
