Today I received my poppy from the Tower of London that I had purchased.

It arrived with a certificate & booklet telling of the meaning behind it.

It is beautiful...the stem is 'weathered' from being outside, & it is much larger than I thought.

I will look at it & think of all who gave their lives in conflict for us as a nation.
