I had a Question....What are Poppies...and the significance to Military????????????????.....Thank you Foggy for this Answer....!!!!!!

PLEASE SEE BELOW FOR ANSWER

• Scarlet corn poppies grow naturally in disturbed earth throughout Western Europe
• Only plant that grew in battle-scarred fields of Northern France and Flanders during WWI
• Canadian doctor John McCrae wrote In Flanders fields the poppies blow / Between the crosses, row on row... in memory of fallen comrades
• It inspired American secretary Moina Michael to sell poppies to raise funds for ex-soldiers

• Poppy became US national emblem of remembrance in 1920, and 1921 in the UK

In the Image above.....are those dimensions, accurate????????????? compliments of "Flightaware"....I know Foggy had answered me with regard to above picture.....either way the picture is BAD ASS!!!!!!!!!!!

The Text below for this TWA Ad.......

"This year...let yourself go!

Forget about the same old places...same old faces... same old things...This year, why not give the globe a good "spin" and pick out the places  you’d really like to see? San Francisco...New York...London...Paris...Cairo...or even India...who says they’re so very far away? With the fabulous five-mile-a minute speed of a TWA Skyliner you’ll soon discover the whole world’s within easy reach...and even a two-week holiday can quickly become the vacation you will cherish for years. Yes, now’s the time to listen to your heart, borrow a Skyliner’s wings...and let yourself go!"

WHAT AN AWESOME OLDER AD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And this was not all the Goodies....but can't let ya see everything just yet......I'm still not done....looking over them...myself.....Funny...how the little,   and not so little things,   in life...can make such a difference...!!!!!!!!

A Very Special Thank You' to METIN.....My Friend!!!!!
