Is wearing a poppy an example of Virtue Signalling ?
I heard it described as such today. Personally I believe it to be a sign of respect to our Armed Forces. Lest we forget.

I wear mine to firstly honour three relatives who died in the second world war, secondly to honour all those from across the world who died in both world wars and thirdly those friends who have died in conflict since. If people think I'm virtually signaling that's their prerogative but I will certainly continue to wear it to show the fallen haven't been forgotten.
If so which of the virtues is it?
This comes up every year, usually it's those who wear the red poppy being accused as warmongers. It's almost pathetic if it wasn't so insulting and ignorant.
I wear my red poppy to remember those who sacrificed their lives. Most of us alive today couldn't even imagine being so brave.
