As I spent the day in Madison, I saw numerous veterans. Some served in wars, some did not.
I wondered when will those who send them to war make sure that the veterans' medical needs -physical and emotional - are respected when they return.

I think Americans should follow like other nations and pay a bit more respect. I like the idea that Canadians and Brits have by wearing the poppy from Nov 1st through November 11th or at least on Nov 11th. This clearly visible symbol helps provide more of a reminder.
Selling the poppies for whatever a person wants to donate also helps raise funds for Vets and their families.... EXCELLENT IDEA!!
