@MysteriouslyMichele As you know we do wear the yellow ribbons for our soldiers who are staioned abroad. However, we also wear poppies. the poppies are handed out to people who donate money to help our vets and during certain military rememberence events. I believe this started not long after WWI.
@darkpassenger09 Amarica was also a colony. not as long as we are. the idea of a poppy comes from the poppys that would grow on the hasty graves of the dead in war. they would spred lime over the graves (i don't remember why) and poppys liking the lime in the soil would grow in abundance.
@darkpassenger09 They are not just a Europian thing. I live in Canada and we wear poppys to remember. I also know that some places in northern United States has the Poppy as well.
@MysteriouslyMichele It is possible that you have ot seen many people wearing them if you do not live in an area which supports a military base. I also live in the Northern US, but as we have a base in our state, the poppies are common.
@MysteriouslyMichele hmm... maybe what i have seen northern Amaricans wearing was really a ribbon... and i just thought they were poppies 'cause that's what i am used to.
