when I was little the Vets would sell paper poppies on Memorial Day at the parade. My Grandpa always had one pinned to the visor in his car

@SW-User It should be compulsory to sell them & it keeps the message of what remembrance day is about

@saragoodtimes I get one every year and I attach them to my refrigerator. Got a gaggle of them on the refrigerator door! As long as there are Veterans alive, and there will be for years to come, the poppy will be adorned on a lapel or elsewhere.

@saragoodtimes I many American households and families these "patriotic" traditions remain, and hopefully will. My dad was a medic in WW2.
