Poppy Symbol Deepens Roots in Remembrance
The poppy’s history spans ancient China to World Wars memories. Canada first adopted it as a national emblem in 1921, with early poppies sewn by French women and later by disabled veterans. The symbol now supports Vetcraft Shops and veteran welfare, linking to John McCrae’s In Flanders Fields.
