The Remembrance Poppy

Have you wondered how the Poppy Became the Symbol For Nov 11th Veteran's Day.
World War 1 Ended on 11/11/11,
the 11th Month, 11th day, 11th hour.

"The Poppy is the enduring symbol of remembrance of the

 First World War. It is strongly linked with Armistice Day, 

Which is November 11th. 

Wear the Poppy on your right side of your shirt or lapel.
 The Red represents the blood of those who gave their lives.
 The Black represents the mourning of those who
 did not make it home.

 "The Poppy's origin as a symbol of remembrance
 lies in the landscapes of the First World War.

Poppies were a common site, especially on the Western Front.

 They flourished in the soil churned up the fighting and shelling.
 The Flower provided Canadian Doctors John McCrae's Poem

 with inspiration for his poem "In Flanders Fields", 

Which he wrote while serving in the Ypres in 1915. 

In 1918 American humanitarian Moina Michael wrote, 

"And now the Torch and Poppy Red, we wear in
 honor of our dead." 
And Campaigned to make the Poppy a symbol of 
remembrance of those who died in war.

The Poppy continues to be sold worldwide to raise money

 and to remember those who have lost their lives in the

 First World War and in subsequent Conflicts."
