- driverdan 6y agoIt's not just Canadian. I've seen and worn poppies in the US. But I don't think it's as well known or as big of a deal.
- dx87 6y agoI found out that some get very touchy when you don't know what it represents. I was doing a joint training exercise that included brits and canadians, and one day they started wearing poppy pins. We asked them why they were wearing flower pins on their uniforms, and they reacted like we'd shit on a war memorial.
