People wear poppies for Remembrance Day because of a poem written by John McCrae (a Canadian military doctor in World War One) called "In Flanders Fields." Poppies bloom throughout Flanders, where some of the worst fighting of the war occurred--and the poppies grow all through the torn-up fields and in the cemetaries--and so they became a symbol of Remembrance Day.
