I was so moved on Saturday night at The Grand Ole Opry when I saw Bill Cody wearing a Poppy! It took me straight back to my hometown of Aledo, IL to when I was a child and thought it was such a special day because my Dad and his friends would be downtown with little bouquets offering the flowers for a small donation. I didnt know exactly what it was for but I knew it was patriotic because my Dad was a veteran and I felt so proud. Bless those who have risked for us and whose sacrifice have/had no alternate agenda. What a sweet tradition that we should pass on to our youngsters. Have to brag that when my son Ben saw a Bills poppy, he totally knew it was started after World War I. I didnt t know the story. Hers what I found out. vfw.org/Community/Buddy-Poppy/
