It is no secret that military families make the ultimate sacrifice. From putting their lives on the line on the battlefield to being apart from their loved ones for extended periods of time, it is never easy. Decca Records wanted to honor the sacrifices of the Armed Forces families in 2013. So they organized a talent search for families of the Armed Forces in the UK. The search was limited to children with a father or sibling serving in the UK or overseas.

As reported here in The Daily Mail, thousands of children applied for the search, and applicants were whittled down to 60. From this number, 11 made the finals. Five young impressive girls formed the group known as The Poppy Girls.

At the time, these five girls included Megan Adams, Florence Ransom, Bethany Davey, Charlotte Mellor, and Alice Milburn. The Poppy Girls performed a song written by the American performer Regina Spektor. The song is called The Call (No Need To Say Goodbye).
The hauntingly beautiful song was performed for the first time during the Royal British Legion’s Festival of Remembrance. Among the special guests at this fancy affair was Queen Elizabeth II.
The Festival of Remembrance commemorates the end of World War I and is celebrated on the second Sunday of November. There are a variety of activities that place to mark the occasion, including musical performances, church services, and the laying of wreaths and poppies.
Part of the remembrance includes everyone stopping what they are doing at 11 am and joining in for a moment of silence to remember those that were lost in the war.
As part of the special spectacle, The Poppy Girls gave a beautiful performance. However, just when the audience thought it could not get any better, something incredibly magical happened when one of the Poppy Girls was reunited with her military father, as you'll see in the video below.
Now you can watch the touching performance and the heartwarming reunion for yourself. It is hard not to shed a tear when you watch this emotional video.
