Remembrance Day
November 11, Monday
The tradition of wearing a poppy originated from the poem "In Flanders Fields," written by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae during World War I, which reflects on the poppies growing on the battlefields. Many people wear artificial poppies, often sold by veterans' organizations, to raise funds for veteran support services.
