Dear Jan,

With all respect, the red poppy now appearing as we approach Remembrance
Day, also stands for what the white poppy campaign hopes to establish.  By
honouring the dead of our wars, we also dedicate ourselves to ensuring that
such tragedies will never occur again.  As a retired general officer, member
of the Royal Canadian Legion, and peace activist of some standing, I deplore
anything that will suggest that the red poppy glorifies war.

Sincerely,
Leonard V. Johnson
Major-General (Ret.)
