Very good for your town church, anyone who's visited England has seen all the small town memorials to the WWI dead, that in many cases killed or cut the growth of those towns tremendously.
When I was there it was sad to see so many not in good repair or well maintained.
I have seen the video and others of the Tower poppies, magnificent!
All the best wishes,

This year's Remembrance Day was particularly poignant, being 100 years on from start of WW1.
Our little town center was packed on Sunday.
I dont know wether any of you guys in the US saw about the 'sea of poppies' in the moat of the tower of london - 888,246 ceramic poppies - each one representing a British military fatality.
Here is a BBC video of a drone flying over for those who havn'thttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-30004315

That was brilliant - and most of those poppies were paid for by subscription and will be sent to those who paid for them. A Beautiful display in memory of our lost.[/quote]
