On Veterans Day, do you wear poppies as well?
This is what they look like in Canada (I think they wear them in the U.K. too...so it might be a "British Empire" thing...just wondering).

Some people do - the American Legion (or maybe the Lions, I forget) always sells them. My grandpa always has them - one on the brim of his hat and one in his car. I think that tradition is slowly falling out - I see many more elderly people doing it.
