Remembrance Day is on November 11, honoring armed forces members who died in service. The tradition of wearing poppies began over 100 years ago, symbolizing remembrance and support for veterans and their families. The Royal British Legion states there is no "correct" way to wear a poppy unless you are currently serving. It is a personal choice, and people are encouraged to wear it with pride, regardless of the style. Poppies can be paper, pin, or bag charms, and can be attached with a safety pin. Donations from the Poppy Appeal support serving and former military personnel and their families.
