I don't. I'm not. I don't know if that's the right decision or not. Some years I wear a white poppy when I can find one.
I'm not a pacifist and I don't believe that war is always wrong. I'm wearing the necklace made by my Ukrainian friend, currently in exile in Germany. But I'm absolutely allergic to mandatory displays of anything, and what started out as mourning has become some obligatory state function and worship of the dead, which I find disturbing.
