Of course there are “bells ringing”. But most Americans really know less about UK/Europe history and geography than the other way around. It amazes me how many of you can name American states and their capitals when many Americans only know about London, Paris, Berlin, and Rome. WWI and WWII we know because we won…

Please, it is not ignorance. I just had never ever heard of this particular custom. We do have our own Veteran’s Day just not this particular symbol.

No, we don’t. Maybe some recent immigrants or embassy/consulate officials have brought it with them so you might see a few in the bigger cities but I have not seen any.
