Forget-Me-Not
Remembrance Day in the UK was November 8.
Tomorrow, in the US, is Veteran's Day.
Today is Forget-Me-Not Day, meant to remember those injured in battle.
Judge Robert S. Marx was a decorated World War I soldier who started selling the flowers in order to raise money for the disabled veterans, and to remind people of the sacrifices these soldiers had made. He founded the Disabled American Veterans Foundation in 1920.
Forget-Me-Nots are also used to promote Alzheimer's Awareness. The top photo was taken at a Walk to End Alzheimer's event we participated in, raising money for care, support, and research.
Don't forget.
