"I lost my poppy," he said, looking for another.
His dad, Tuck, was a World War II veteran and Tom always wears one at this time of year. But he remembers every day.
We used to have poppy's here in the US too. I remember them as a kid, I don't remember when they quit "selling" them. It was always a donation, never asking for money. That is too bad we have stopped that practice. Might be a good time to restart it.
