The Veterans of Foreign Wars here in the USA always uses RED poppies to raise funds for veterans in need. As far as I am aware, no one over here is proposing white poppies.

The only proper response to this nonsense is to proudly wear your red poppy - and give a bit more than previously!

BTW, my grandfather enlisted in the 15th Engineers in WWI, the group whose proud motto became "First to England."
