I just bought mine the other day and just noticed it was gone. They really need to start putting a safety pin on the back of them 
How many poppies have you lost so far this year?

I thought this said PUPPIES at first and I thought, maybe you shouldn't have a doggie if you lose them so easily

No, the US doesn't. Such a shame - I like the poppies.

I knew what you were talking about because I lived in England and in school they would sell the poppies for 10 pennies to kids who wanted to pin them on their
uniforms. I would lose so many

"In Flanders Fields" was written by a Canadian, maybe that's why only we do the poppy thing?
