IN SIGNIFICANCE OF POPPY DAY
The Poppy as the memorial flower for American war dead is a tradition which began in the years following the first World War. Veterans returning to their homes in this country remembered the wild poppies which lined the devastated battlefields of France and Flanders, and the soldiers of all nations came to look upon this flower as a living symbol of their dead comrades' sacrifice.
"In Flanders' fields the poppies blow - Between the crosses, row on row —"
Thus, the flower soon took on a sacred significance in remem¬ brance for the men whose lives had been lost in defense of freedom and also for the plight of those men who did not die but returned permanently disabled.
On September, 1920 at the National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio, the American Legion was the first national organization to adopt the Poppy as the memorial flower to the war dead and on October, 1921 in Kansas City, Mo. the American Legion Auxiliary adopted the Poppy as the memorial flower.
The American Legion Auxiliary then adopted a national Poppy Program in 1924 to protect the memorial Poppy from commercialism and for which program is now being conducted to honor the Americans wounded and who died during both World Wars - the Korean War and the Vietnam Conflict.
The Poppy is made only by veterans in hospitals and all proceeds from this program each year are sent directly back to aid the disabled veterans or members of their families and their programs.
