The young girl in the photo I took probably doesn't have a clue as to what the full significance of the day's activities were, including the placing of the plastic poppy to make a wreath. In time she'll get to know though.
I was reading an article today on the CBC website about a graveyard in Gaza for Canadian soldiers who had died while serving as peacekeepers during the Suez Crisis in the 1950s (http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2008/11/10/f-gaza-war-cemetery.html). The article is quite nice and very touching. The one vitriolic comment posted a reader, accusing the author and the article of being anti-Israeli propaganda was...mind numbing. Thankfully it was removed by the moderators.
Enjoy your pop rocks, sir.
