remembrance poppy
Veterans' day bloom
A remembrance poppy is an artificial red poppy worn to honor military personnel who died in war, particularly around November 11 (Armistice Day or Remembrance Day) in Commonwealth countries.
The symbol originated from the poppies that grew on World War I battlefields in Flanders.
Wearing one signals respect for the fallen: She pinned a remembrance poppy to her coat for the ceremony.
