I proudly wear a poppy from the Returned Services League of Australia (given to me by a dear friend who is ex-Royal Australian Navy) on Remembrance Day, and I am also an American citizen. I sympathise, but some of us do remember. In fact, my job for 10 years was to remember 537 Americans who gave their lives at a National Battlefield.
