I heard that is was important to other countries as well for the same reason. Over here poppies are a symbol of hope linked to the wars. We also sell poppy badges to raise money to help look after injured soldiers and families who have lost loved ones in the battle filed.
Ah, that's cool! I didn't know that about poppies, and that's really cool about selling the badges. Over here the symbol for "supporting the troops" is a yellow ribbon.
I see, it is cool it is a yellow ribbon for the US. I didn't know that! I really like the idea of poppies it is nice to have a symbol for hope to and to help people who have fought and still need help.
