Poppy Memorial Widely Adopted by Veterans Groups
In Vernon on Saturday about 1400 poppies will be sold by the American Legion Auxiliary to fund graves in Flanders Field and elsewhere. The poppy became the memorial flower of the American Legion and its auxiliary, inspired by Miss Moina Michael’s tribute and John McCrae’s Flanders Fields poem. The poppy’s symbolism extends to French British and Canadian veterans, with rights not restricted to a single organization.
