In Canada, and in the U.K. they sell by donation poppy pins for Remembrance Day. Here the official distributor of the pins is the Royal Canadian Legion and when I was a teenager you had to be former military or RCMP to be a member. Therefore most of the volunteers selling and making the pins where WWII veterans. Us teens actually bought the pins and proudly wore them. I still do as an adult, even though to increase membership the legion now lets anyone join and most of the WWII vets are gone. The poppy pins once made by disabled veterans are now made in China. But I still buy and wear one because I remember the old days when it was a WWII vet involved. I'm still surprised they don't have poppy pins in the states. info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remembrance_poppy#Canada
