Honouring our verterans by wearing a poppy is our duty 38 points, 100 comments

“Honestly, in these past 3 years at waterloo, I have been very disappointed with the number of people that do not wear a poppy. …”

u/help_ss: “Honestly wear a poppy only if you know something about what it signifies. Too many people wearing a poppy for the sake of wearing one. …”

u/RequiemFear: “And in case you wanted to know more, HIST312 The First World War is running next semester (shameless plug).”
