It's the right thing to do on, say, Memorial Day, when the markets are closed.And the story of the VFW "Buddy" Poppy. Here's the poem:"In Flanders Fields"BY JOHN MCCRAEIn Flanders fields the poppies blowBetween the crosses, row on row,    That mark our place; and in the sky    The larks, still bravely singing, flyScarce heard amid the guns below.We are the Dead. Short days agoWe lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,    Loved and were loved, and now we lie,        In Flanders fields.Take up our quarrel with the foe:To you from failing hands we throw    The torch; be yours to hold it high.    If ye break faith with us who dieWe shall not sleep, though poppies grow        In Flanders fields.If you have a question you’d like me to answer on the podcast, email me at [email protected] out more episodes at my retirement planning podcast website: https://www.rogueretirementlounge.com/Follow me on twitter! https://twitter.com/LoungeRogueFollow me on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/lairdgrainger/
