The "Virtual" moment of silence has ended. When accessing the forums today, many of you might have seen this page instead of what you were expecting. On November 11th each year all across Canada, people observe a short moment of silence out of respect for those who fought and died in war. With the poppy being the official symbol of Rememberance Day, I felt it appropriate for poppies.org to also partake in this moment of silence. If you're out today, and you run into a war veteran -- please take the time to thank them. For more information on the history of the poppy as a symbol of war veteran sacrifices, please click here.
