I was in Toronto last week and donated for the Poppy. I wear it on my lapel at home and have received many compliments on it. Many times I was asked where I got it. After I told them I got it in Toronto many asked why the local Veterans groups did not offer it. It seems to be a "thing of the past" here in Central PA. Kind of discouraging when you think of it. I wear mine for James Frank Inglis, a Scotsman who had not received his US citizenship when he inlisted and served with Company L, 112th Infantry, 28th Division out of Boalsburg, PA. He died in France during the war fighting for a country he believed in. He was my Grand Uncle and will not be forgotten.
