I was flying MHT-ORD this moring and one of the UA flight attendants was wearing a poppy! Her and I were the only ones so I asked her if she was Canadian. She said she was British but her parents lived in YVR so she understands the importance of the poppy ^^^

When I was flying to MHT on Monday I had someone walk by me and make a joke asking if I was wearing a secret microphone At that point I got on my high horse and explained why we wear them and threw in for good measure that I felt it was sad that with Veterans Day approaching I would have expected to see some support for those who have fought for their country. I of course said it with a smile but I couldn't help myself after being mocked about my poppy

Guess it just goes to show that WE DO REMEMBER up here and don't take it for granted
