There was a scene in Boardwalk Empire where they were having a ceremony for Vets of WWI and everyone was wearing a red poppy. American's at one point must have worn them as well.
Edit: From the Wiki:
In the United States, the American Legion distributes crepe-paper poppies in exchange for contributions. "Poppy Day" is usually the same as or near Memorial Day in May.[31] However, many Legion groups also make poppies available around 11 November.
