Do Americans wear the poppy on Nov. 11, Remembrance Day?

[Iron Woode]

In Canada, the Royal Canadian Legion distributes them for us to wear so that we never forget the sacrifices the veterans have made for our freedom.

I was just curious if the Americans do the same thing or not?

You see old vets selling them (they're more like donations) for $1 outside stores and stuff.

November 11th is Veteran's Day in the US. I don't recall the poppy or the thing you have in the picture being associated with Veteran's Day.
