It's a shame that the practice of wearing poppies has all but disappeared in the US, especially as it does seem to please veterans. I love your anecdote about how happy you made that veteran by buying a poppy and reciting the opening lines of "In Flanders Fields". I'm sure it meant a lot to him that you did understand the poppy's significance.
