*********************************************************

Sorry, please forgive me, but though the above answer is correct, I must add:

Red poppies began to grow on the bomb blasted battlefields of the First World War. They were adopted as a symbol of the waste and futility of war. Poppies are sold by various charities to help and aid veterans of WW1 (which no one is living today) and WW2 and all other wars that Britain and her Commonwealth countries are, or have been, involved in. To wear a red poppy is to commemorate that we are alive because they, the fallen and maimed, sacrificed their youth so we could live our lives in freedom.
