Short days agoWe lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,Loved and were loved, and now we lieIn Flanders fields.Take up our quarrel with the foe:To you from failing hands we throwThe torch; be yours to hold it high.If ye break faith with us who dieWe shall not sleep, though poppies growIn Flanders fields.Ever since then, veterans have sold poppies at the entrances to stores as a way to raise money for disabled veterans groups and now the poppies stand for all veterans of all wars.
What do poppies represent?
In 1918, just before the armistice of World War I took effect, a woman named Moina Michael read a poem written in 1915 by Canadian Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae titled "In Flanders Fields." Poppies are mentioned in this poem and so she decided to use and wear red poppies to honor those who had perished in war. Ms. Michael also wrote a poem in response. She chose red to represent the blood that was spilled. The custom soon spread to other countries. However, in the US this tradition applies mostly to Memorial Day and not Veterans Day.
