Probably have to order online or make one yourself. It's never really caught on in this country.

In Flanders Fields
By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918) Canadian Army In Flanders Fields the poppies blow Between the crosses row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. People wear poppy pins in honor of Veteran's Day. |

I don't know if you'll get them in time but you can always try geocoins
http://shop.geoswag.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/geopin.html Poppy pin on the right top. http://shop.geoswag.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/military.html Poppy coins (in gold & silver) on the bottom left & bottom right Which reminds me.... I should look through my geocoin collection. maybe I have a pin there. |

Around Veterans day at some supermarkets and the like, you will see Veterans collecting donations... They usually have them.
I have one from last year hanging off my rear view mirror

Around here they sell them a couple times a year. In the spring and Veterans' Day. I always buy one. They're always thankful when I give them 2 or 3 dollars for one. They always try to give me another. |
