Today is Remembrance Day in Canada, Veterans Day in the US.

Every November the Canadian Legion produces imitation red poppies and sells them for Canadians to wear on their lapels.

The poppies are sold at shopping malls and other public places by members of the Legion and by teenage cadets. In recent years, trays of poppies also appear at store cash registers.

There is no fixed price. Simply place a donation into the box in the Legionnaire's tray and take a poppy.
