Ah, we had to learn that one at primary school for ANZAC Day - the day where we commemorate all of our fallen soldiers, especially the ones who died at Gallipoli. We wear little pin-on poppies as a sign of our support.

In the States, they sell little poppies on Memorial Day. Well, they aren't really sold. You get one free if you make a donation to the Veterans, no matter how much you give. Since my father is a Vietnam veteran and my grandfather was a World War II veteran, we always try to support them and get poppies every year. Even when I was little, I would always ask for my own dollar to put in so I could have my own poppy. I didn't know for a long time what they symbolised.
