“We cherish too, the Poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led,
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies.”
– Moina Michael

Moina Michael conceived the idea of wearing a red poppy on Memorial Day in honor of those who died serving our country.  It’s a wonderful tradition, now carried on by members of the VFW and American Legion, with proceeds assisting disabled and hospitalized veterans.  Buy a poppy this weekend and wear it in honor of our veterans!
