Hmmm... I usually make a small (paper money) donation but don't wear the

I wonder how long the tradition will continue?

The time when there is no one left who served in WW2 is not far away. *
The time when their children are no more will follow.
Their children may continue it but will theirs?

* I appreciate those who died in later wars / conflicts are remember but it
tends to be WW1 and 2 on which things focus.

As a Nation we have an atrocious record when it comes to caring for our
veterans. It is hard to believe in, say, 50 years, Remembrance Day will
be supported as it is now.
