I typically see poppies on Memorial Day in the US more often than on 11/11. I had a poppy brooch that was given to me by my mother. However, somewhere in the craziness following my divorce and the couple moves that followed it has gotten lost. Just need to get a new one, but I haven't found one that I like as well. Probably need to see what the VFW has to offer because even if I eventually replace it when I find what I want atleast I will have helped a good organization in the meantime.
