On The Bright Side

Every November, poppies blossom on the lapels and collars of millions of Canadians across the country. Since the 1920s, the poppy has been worn to commemorate those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. Puneet Birgi tells us about the history of the poppy and how it became a symbol of remembrance in Canada, the United States, Great Britain and Australia.
