I have been watching BBC World lately, and every news anchor is wearing what looks like a flower lapel pin. Why?

Could be a poppy to represent Veteran's Day. (The poppies blooming on Flanders Field after WWI symbolizing the rising of life from death in war). Nov. 11, 1917 was Armistice Day, the end of WWI; later, after WWII, it was renamed "Veteran's Day" to commemorate those who had fallen in war, not just to remember the dead of the Great War.

Because he has no pride in America! LOL I've said it before and I'll say it again: You could wear a suit made entirely of flag pins, and it would not convince me that you love America more than someone else. Most flag pins were probably Made in China anyway.

If it is a red flower, I assume you mean the poppy, which is a symbol of rememberance of all the British servicemen and women who gave there lives in conflicts accross the world. On one sunday each November, poppy wreaths are laid at the Cenotaph in London by the queen etc as a memorial.
