Wreaths of Memorial Poppies

For Armistice Day (Remembrance Day), the red poppy symbolizes the blood shed by soldiers and the resilience of life, originating from the poem "In Flanders Fields," which noted their growth on WWI battlefields, becoming a powerful emblem of remembrance for fallen military personnel and a fundraising token for veterans.

"In Flanders Fields": Canadian Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae wrote this poem in 1915, describing poppies growing vibrantly amidst the graves of fallen soldiers in the devastated fields of Belgium and France, linking the flower to death and remembrance.
