You can spend $90 on a pair o f je a n s, but gosh if you c a n 't find a coin or tw o to drop in the box. I 'd been m eaning to buy a poppy for a few days. I took out the q u arters that w ere sittin g in my pocket, pushed them through the card b o ard slot and picked out my flow er. T he veteran raised his head t o l o o k me in the eyes. W ith a b right sm ile, he said to m e, "T h an k you very m uch, dear." W as it ju s t a sm all plastic flo w e r fo r the old v e te ra n ? H ardly.

I c a n 't rem em ber an autum n, w hen I w a sn 't w earing a poppy. Yet for as long as i t 's been a sym bol, it still appears as c o n sis te n tly as th e fa llin g o f the leaves, seen in m ore p laces than those trendy co lo u r-co d ed cause ribbons. The reason is th at w e all know p eo p le w ho risk ed th eir liv es to defen d us in a war. Som e o f them even gave th e ir lives fo r o u r sake.
