Really? They seem like a Dak kind of thing.
We have American Flag pins or ribbons that say "Support or Troops" or something to that effect.

Re: Poppies
Hm, I also have never heard of this. I'll have to try and keep a lookout for them. As Dak said..I've seen ribbons and such that say "Support Our Troops" though.

I thought I read that it was started in the US.

I guess we rock the poppies due to "In Flanders field" Being written by a Canadian.

Re: Poppies
Yep. Buy one every year and wear it every day. It's kind of expected in my job (Financial Adviser) when you're meeting elderly clients in particular. But I always did it anyway. My father was a veteran of WW2 so it's kind of ingrained that I do

Re: Poppies
I used to get them in Elementary School. Haven't seen them since though, but I don't think I'd get one anyway.
