Well put Dave T, Liz and others. Yes, it should be remembered that we have the choice of wearing the poppy or not, voting for whom we choose, speaking out against that with which we don't agree and other countless freedoms because of what our soldiers did for us. No we should not forget those who worked in the mines or in the factories. It was their devotion to the cause that allowed our soldiers to go where duty led them. Labor Day is set aside to remember the efforts of our civilian workforce. But regardless of the day we should always remember that we owe a debt of gratitude to all those who worked to preserve our freedoms. Remember, All gave some, some gave All!
