It would seem that once again, some retailers like Costco and Target take objection to those that wish to sell poppies during the period before Remembrance Day.
My mother-in-law's husband, a World War II veteran, passed away last week at the age of 94. He volunteered to serve his country in a war against the Germans.
My son has a fairly good understanding of the sacrifices that soldiers make and the story of the big box retailers diminishes these acts. The representatives and public relation talking heads will undoubtedly put a spin on the whole issue but it will not mean much to me.
I personally object to the reasons some wars are fought but support those that are willing to put their lives on the line in service of their country. I can't convince you to avoid shopping at Costco but is that big box of socks really what people have died for?
