We (Pie & I) have a whole bunch.<BR/>The poppies are sold as a fundraiser for the vets. You are supposed to donate a quarter when you "buy" one so we usually throw in a bunch of change and take one or two.<BR/>They are brought out at the end of October. Last year there was a gentleman from New York in our restaurant. He was up to do some hunting. When he paid his bill he noticed the poppies and collection jar by the till and asked what they were for. He mentioned he'd seen so many people wearing them that he thought there HAD to be a reason. After we explained he asked if it was okay for him, an American, to take one. We told him of course so he put in a bunch of quarters and took some with him.cdncowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055181472294995601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071043294700974116.post-91527134859980867602008-11-11T18:46:00.000-06:002008-11-11T18:46:00.000-06:00Sorry about the deleted comment - I thought of mor...Sorry about the deleted comment - I thought of more stuff to add...<BR/><BR/>***<BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting that - I meant to post something similar.
