This weekend marks that time of year when we wear a poppy and remember those who have given their lives for their country in War.
The 'Poppy Appeal' raised more than thirty five million pounds last year and this year, they're hoping to top the forty million mark thanks to the hard work of 'The Royal British Legion'.
And the appeal may just reach its target, because they've got some new recruits to help.
Young Muslims are planning to turn up at Londons rail and underground stations in force to help collect money for the Poppy Appeal.
Members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association (AMYA) will again be helping The Royal British Legion as a mark of good citizenship and a testament to the Islamic edict of demonstrating loyalty to your country.
They will also pay tribute to the valuable role Britain played in the fight against fascism - and the continuing need to be ever vigilant to the threat of extremism. The carnage caused by bloody extremists on the underground on 7/7 will give greater resonance to the charity campaign.
