Anyone who has dealt with a small town legion understands who they’re dealing with. Every legion has endless stories about infighting and power hunger boomers. One nearby legion burnt down. They raised a ton of money, built a new one and then all the volunteers quit enmass because the president became a tyrant and they closed. (they reopened eventually)
I have no doubt that the poppy pin was one person’s great idea that got squashed by a cabal angry old men and women to put the upstart in their place. A tradition is anything that happened to a boomer twice and traditions are sacrosanct.

When you want to eat another, you have the munchies and it’s working. Eat a bag of chips.
