I picked one up off of the ground because I didn't want to see it trampled. The thing was wrecked already, and putting it in the garbage felt dirty and disrespectful. But it really was wrecked and beyond saving.
On a similar topic, I noticed that all of the English soccer teams had poppies on their jerseys for Remembrance Day (and the week or two prior). It would be nice to see the NHL teams do the same. Granted, the poppy tradition isn't the same in the US as it is in Canada, but even if the Canadian-based teams did it, it would be a nice little sign of respect.
