Today we remember and honor those men and women in uniform who have died in service to our country.

I picked up a couple of those poppies by donating to the local VFW out in force this year. One elderly sweetheart says, "I'll give you a poppy, but you're a rose (for donating)." I'll be darned if I didn't blush! :)
