Do you guys wear poppies or anything for veterans day etc?

[eek.]

Remembrance Day – also known as Poppy Day, Armistice Day (the event it commemorates) or Veterans Day – is a day to commemorate the sacrifices of members of the armed forces and of civilians in times of war, specifically since the First World War. It is observed on 11 November to recall the end of World War I on that date in 1918. The day was specifically dedicated by King George V, on 7 November 1919, to the observance of members of the armed forces who were killed during war; this was possibly done upon the suggestion of Edward George Honey to Wellesley Tudor Pole, who established two ceremonial periods of remembrance based on events in 1917.<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-lRSA_0-0>[1]</SUP>

A lot of NHL coaches wear poppies, for many days before the 11th it seems. I guess it's a big deal in Canada.
