In November, 2000, my daughter Meg and I were in England. I took this picture of an elderly woman selling poppies in front of Bath Cathedral for Remembrance Day, what we call Veterans Day. We saw people selling these poppies everywhere, and we bought and wore them, too.
On Remembrance Day, November 11, we had just boarded a train in London when we heard the announcement that it was 11 AM, and that the country was now observing two minutes of silence. People on the train stopped what they were doing and remained still for two minutes…it was really quite a beautiful thing.
