According to an American Legion Auxiliary Hangout……………………… "The American Legion Auxiliary was the first organization to adopt the Poppy as a Memorial Flower. This took place at a National Convention in Kansas City Missouri in October, 1921. The Poppy was picked as our memorial flower because it was in full bloom on the battlefield of France in the spring of 1919, where so many of the World War I service men died in battle to save our country. The true meaning of the Poppy is an emblem of faith to those who gave their lives for the security of this nation, and by giving aid to those vererans and their families who are in need by wearing a Memorial Poppy"
