I think I am more confused than before, given slemslempike's comment above.... red for remembrance and commemoration of those who fought, and white for a culture of peace?
The only white poppy wearers I know of were all born well after the wars, and I was getting the sense that it was new and trendy and hijacking an established symbol. Which is clearly not the case, so I amend my previous annoyance.
