A Canadian friend of mine spending a first Remembrance Day in the U.S. is feeling a bit homesick due to the lack of Remembrance Poppies. Several sources I browsed note their presence in the United States in the past and perhaps today via an association with the American Legion. I have never seen them Stateside, but perhaps this is because commemoration traditions where I was born and raised are distinct.
Does anyone on the forum hail from a region where they are a feature of Veterans’ Day or Memorial Day?
