\"\"<\/a>I had a rather heated discussion with someone yesterday about wearing a poppy for Remembrance Day\u2026<\/p>\n

She pitched a scathing diatribe suggesting that \u201cwe should be praying for not glorifying war by dedicating a day to it and that she was part of a movement to change Remembrance Day to Peace Day\u201d<\/p>\n
