As I have no specific picture of Middleton on Remembrance Day, let this poppy symbolize that we do remember the sacrifice our veterans made. I do have a memory of wartime Middleton: the blackout curtains, rationing, the growth of Greenwood and its training flights, English airmen staying at homes in the area, convoys and military exercises, losses overseas and at home, and the return of the veterans. I was one of a privileged generation to gain from the sacrifices made and the Canada that emerged after the war. I am grateful.
