As Remembrance Day draws near, Cherry took to social media to remind everyone to wear a poppy. His message was simple but powerful: “Don’t forget your poppy!” Those few words carried with them a deep sense of respect, pride, and gratitude. The poppy, as Cherry emphasized, isn’t just a small red flower — it’s a powerful symbol of remembrance for the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to Canada. It also stands as a show of support for those currently serving in the Canadian Armed Forces.
This tradition has always been deeply personal to Cherry. Over the years, he’s expressed his unwavering admiration for the troops, often using his platform to highlight their sacrifices and courage. It’s a passion that runs through everything he says around this time of year. Even after his controversial departure from Sportsnet, which in part stemmed from his strong views on honoring veterans, Cherry’s commitment to the cause hasn’t wavered in the slightest.
His message this week served as both a reminder and a reflection. It reminded Canadians not to let the meaning of Remembrance Day fade into the background amid the busyness of daily life. It also reflected Cherry’s enduring sense of duty — not just to the sport he loves, but to the country and people who shaped him. For Cherry, wearing a poppy isn’t about politics or publicity; it’s about pride, gratitude, and memory.
And in true Don Cherry fashion, his words were direct, heartfelt, and unmistakably genuine. Even after stepping away from the television spotlight, his presence continues to be felt — not through controversy or commentary this time, but through a sincere call to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
So, as Remembrance Day approaches, Cherry’s message rings loud and clear across Canada: wear your poppy, honor the fallen, and never forget the price of our freedom.
