The conclusion of World War I was an important event for countries worldwide.  The November 11 th signing date of the Armistice ended the war as well as declared the holiday date for many different nations. Commonly referred to as Armistice, Veterans or Remembrance Day depending on its geographic location, the use of remembrance pins as part of the holiday’s rituals has become common in the United States as well as Canada and the United Kingdom. Remembrance Lapel Pins in Canada and Abroad For Remembrance Day, countries like the U.K. and Canada are known for wearing an Armistice Day poppy or representations of the flower to celebrate and pay homage to fallen soldiers. As symbols of both sleep and death, poppy flowers are typically worn on the left lapel. Over time the actual flowers have been replaced by poppy lapel pins. The custom lapel pin version of poppy flowers is not only worn by persons paying tribute to lost loved ones but is also brought to celebrations and memorials.  In Greco-Roman mythology, poppy flowers are used as an emblem on tombstones to signify eternal sleep.  With respect to this meaning, poppy pins are placed on tombs and memorials to give thanks for the sacrifices made by members of the armed forces.
