Usually it's the poppy that is used to symbolize remembrance. This is due to the poem "Flanders Fields" from WWI where many soldiers died and now poppies grow on the battlefield. I think perhaps white carnations as well, but I'm not sure.

I know red poppies represent Veterans, but I don't think there's one specifically for the Air Force.

The flower the VFW and other Veterans' Groups sell on Veterans' Day is called the "buddy poppy."
