The additional upside of these pins is that you now have to do a road trip to visit the grave of your soldier.
, We'll be going next year.I've done some of the WWII Normandy sites with friends. I've just done a guided tour of Flanders and the Somme. It was fantastic, as well as very moving.

Thanks for the thread OP, I've ordered a couple.
Ordered 2 of these Weds evening, arrived today.
Beautiful, the wife and I have spent the evening researching the fallen.
We are both guilty of only really thinking of these heroes on Rememberance Sunday, does us good to think of them more often.
My wife is a care home manager and plans on taking hers to work next week to show the residents.

I'm absolutely delighted, and a little bit humbled, that my post has provoked so many to look at donating to the Royal British Legion, and receiving the same lovely pins as I did.
I hope you all enjoy your badges, and it's fabulous that you all feel the same as I do and the importance of never forgetting.
Peace and love to you all

I'm usually one of the first to slag off 'social media' (FB/Tw4tter, etc), but it is fantastic when something like this gets such a positive response. Ordered mine today - wouldn't have known about it without your post, Ray, so a million thanks.I hope you all enjoy your badges, and it's fabulous that you all feel the same as I do and the importance of never forgetting.
Peace and love to you all
