My Freedom

I value my freedom because the veterans fought the war for me and all for all the people. I think a poppy is to remember the veterans who died for our country. We have to thank the veterans. It was them who fought for our freedom.

When I look at a poppy I think of courage. The young men were so brave. The color of the poppy reminds me of the color of the blood on the grounds of the battlefields. When I pin a poppy on my chest I feel pride. I am so proud of all the young men who died for us. May we never forget or allow it to happen again.
