It's supposed to be a red corn poppy, which is a symbol honoring the British soldiers who died in WWI. The poppy is common in many of the areas where battles were fought, most notably Flanders where people say the whole field was red between the flowers and the blood. It's worn by many British public figures, especially around Remembrance Day (Nov. 11).

Is it appropriate to wear miniature military medals on civilian black tie attire tuxedo?
Military medals and insignia that you have earned are entirely appropriate for a black or white tie event when wearing a tuxedo or a dinner jacket. Wear them the same way you would for the corresponding military uniform - that is "mess dress" or "dinner dress." This generally means miniature medals and devices over the lapel of the jacket. Ribbons for which there is no medal, and and large medals should only be worn with the military uniforms.
What was some Other world war 2 army slang?
SNAFU - "Situation Normal, All 'Fouled' Up" (that's the nice, sanitized version you could tell mom). FUBAR - " 'Fouled' Up Beyond All Repair". (Likewise). SOS - "sh*t on a shingle", chipped beef in gravy on toast. "Ruptured duck" - anything taking off fast took off like one. When they got home the guys were given an Honorable Discharge lapel pin, which depicted an ungainly eagle in awkward flight, and which they called their "ruptured duck". "In like Flynn" - popular movie star Errol Flynn beat a rape charge in court just before the war, so, anybody who had it made was "in like Flynn". "Goldbrick" or "goldbricking", a person who is lazy, goofs off, is not to be found when there is work to be done, and the actual activity of avoiding work. "Yardbirds" - mindless soldiers, standing around slack jawed. "52/20 Club" - after the war there were no jobs to go get, as factories retooled to go from making war material back to civilian goods. Discharged soldiers were given $20 a week unemployment benefits for 52 weeks. "Golden Gate in 48", to which someone would reply "Bread line in 49", expressing the soldiers' expectation that it would take until 1948 to beat Japan, before the A-bombs were dropped, and what would become of the former soldiers after the war, as America forgot them as quickly as possible. "Short snorter". You'd get yourself a foreign banknote, or, you could use American MPCs, with which the soldiers were paid (Military Payment Certificates). You'd get your buddies to sign your banknote, and you'd sign theirs. If your first one got covered up, you'd tape another one to the end, getting longer and longer. Anybody who could not produce their "short snorter" on demand that you had signed owed you a drink, or a "short snort".
Who are the 6 American Presidents that fought in World War 2?
Dwight David Eisenhower. Commanded American forces in North Africa and Sicily before moving his HQ to England and becoming commander of the Invasion of France. Allied commander from D-Day to the end of the war.John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Flunked out of Harvard, so his powerful father pulled strings and had John made an ensign in the US Navy so John could serve as an assistant Naval aide to his father who was Ambassador to Great Britain. Rumors of John's womanizing there reached J. Edgar Hoover, who detested the father. Hoover maneuvered to have Kennedy assigned to a backwater of the war, as a Patrol Torpedo Boat commander in the Solomon Islands of the southwest Pacific. There Kennedy's boat was idling one dark night along a Japanese supply route looking for Japanese ships, when a Japanese destroyer running without lights suddenly loomed out of the darkness and ran over Kennedy's boat, cutting it in two. Kennedy demonstrated great leadership in the next few days eventually leading the survivors to safety. Hoover's maneuvers backfire on him as favorable impression of these events helps Kennedy gain a paper thin majority in 1960 presidential race.Lyndon Baines Johnson. Johnson, with help from political cronies, flew as an observer on a single bombing mission in the south Pacific. The aircraft he was on experienced mechanical problems and turned back before reaching enemy territory, bombing nothing. "Landslide Lyndon" cronies have Lyndon awarded a Silver Star for his great heroism and he soon departs the area to cross swords in the legislature. Wears a miniature Silver Star lapel pin throughout his presidency to remind everyone what a big hero he was.Richard Milhouse Nixon. Served as a Navy personnel and supply officer, saw no action. Remembered as a careful poker player, who only stayed in hands when he was virtually certain to win. Returned home with over $7,000 in poker winnings, a very considerable sum at the time.Gerald R. Ford, Naval aviator. Crashed seven planes learning to fly, becoming a "Japanese ace".George H. W. Bush (41), Naval aviator. Flew torpedo bombers, which carried three men including the pilot. Plane damaged on raid to Chichi Jima, crash landed in ocean, Bush only man to escape wreckage. Saved by US submarine on "lifeguard duty" during this air raid.
