Meanings of Symbols

The “Remembrance Day For All” symbol means something wider than the white poppy:

    For many, the meaning of the white poppy grew out of its history. For many (eg. many in the Peace Pledge Union) but not all, that means a categorical rejection of all war.

      The “Remembrance Day For All” symbol is clearly and definitely not a categorical rejection of all war. But at the same time this symbol represents a struggle to include strict pacifists and all others in Remembrance Day discussions. It is a symbol of a struggle to give all under-represented groups their fair share of attention.
