Default Wear a poppy

A few of you have closing tag lines suggesting, "wear a poppy." There was a time when the local American Legion guys would sell them at this time of year (and in November) but the banks and grocery stores have gotten less friendly towards them. I have two I picked up at the American cemetery in Nettuno, Italy, that mean a lot to me. (Dad was an Italian campaign vet.)

How can I get one or two of the Canadian or British version of the poppy? Yours is a more robust version.

I like that in Canada you sometimes mark the tombstones of vets with them.
