Rebecca Poole, Singer: Why I wear a poppy

I WEAR a poppy as a mark of respect to honour those who died serving our country.

I think it is important that we all take time to remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice to protect our way of life and the freedom that most of us take for granted.

Vera Lynn said “Always remember, never forget and teach the children to remember.” I hope in wearing my poppy I am helping to do that.
