Thanks for the explanation on the poppies. My dad always used to have one hanging from the sun visor of his car when I was a kid. He'd received it in exchange for a donation to a veterans' group, although I didn't know the significance of it, except that you received it in exchange for a donation. So, of course, when I bought a car, I had to have a poppy there, and have gathered a small collection of them on various Veteran's Days over the year.

Thanks again and thanks to all my brothers in arms, wherever and however they've served.
