Riddle

I have three letters.
I read the same forward and backwards.

It's a word that is important to you and me.

The Sunday nearest to 11 November is Remembrance Sunday. Special services are held at war memorials and churches all over Britain. At 11 a.m. people across Britain hold a two minute silence to remember the millions who have died in war.
The week before 11 November, you'll see people in the streets and on TV wearing a poppy. They are red flowers made of card and they have been used since 1920 to commemorate soldiers who have died in war. Poppies are also used to raise money for people whose lifes have been changed by war.
