POPPY FACTS The American Legion Auxiliary Poppy program is to remind America of the price of war and the sacrifice of millions of lives. At the same time, the Poppy Day distribution honors all of America’s veterans of all wars. The program began after shattered bodies and minds returned from France following World War I, an effort of veterans and their families to “take care of their own” and to remind the public of the debt owed to those who served and died. The Flanders Poppy (Papaver Rlioeas) is a weed

of the grain fields. The constant shelling of buildings caused the lime of the building cement to spread over the ground soil and the deep shelling of the terrain removed the surface top soil exposing the underground lime of the area providing a perfect setting for this weed. This weed which we call a poppy is not a source of opium but instead its seed (poppyseed) is used in cakes and pastry and is also a source of an excellent oil which is used as substitute for olive oil. The petals are a rich scarlet color and like our hospitalized veterans this plant cannot live alone but thrives in groups or clumps. The red poppy has been designated as a symbol of sacrifice of lives in all wars. The American Legion Auxiliary has pledged to remind America annually of this debt through the distribution of the memorial flower. In April of 1915, a bat-tle-weary Canadian officer viewed the final resting .glace *of. thousands «of . young men who’ had ‘fallen*

in one of the major battles of World War I. Despondently he contemplated to rows of hastily dug graves, each marked by a simple white cross. In a sudden revelation, he heard the singing of larks in the sky and among the graves he saw gay little patches of red . . . wild poppies struggling through the battle worn soil. Inspired, Colonel John McCrae penned the three short verses of his now famous poem “In Flanders Field.” This poem brought a message of confidence to millions of people in the dark hours of World War I, and established the Flanders poppy as the symbol of faith and hope.
