Friday Feature The Poppie

Friday FeaturesReminderMonday, May 26is Memorial Day

Memorial Day, observed in the United States on the Last Monday in May, is a solemn occasion dedicated to honoring the men and women who gave their lives while serving in the US military.

The Red Poppy: This Flower became a symbol of remembrance after World War I, inspired by the poem “In Flanders Fields” by poet and soldier John McCrae. People often wear or display red poppies to honor fallen soldiers, and the American Legion distributes them every Memorial Day.
