Poppies?
After reading this op-ed from the Telegraph (thanks to Prof. Volokh), I remembered that this is the first 11 November in a long while that I've not bought a little paper poppy for a veteran's organisation. I never wore them (I was never sure of the propriety of wearing a poppy, since the veterans in this case weren't mine, and I couldn't find a reference) but I generally bought one anyway.
Oddly, I've not seen anyplace around here that sells them, and I can't remember if it's an American tradition or not. (Heck, I've not been to the grocery store in ages, so this may be my fault.) It's odd what one seems to miss when one moves.
Have a good veteran's day, everyone.
