Poppies are worn on Remembrance Day to honor and remember the soldiers who fought and died in World War I and subsequent conflicts. The symbol is derived from the poem "In Flanders Fields," written by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, which describes how poppies grew on the battlefields of Flanders. The red color of the poppy symbolizes the bloodshed of those who sacrificed their lives for their country. Wearing a poppy serves as a reminder of the cost of war and the importance of peace.
