·         Did you know that the poppy tradition began when the noticeable red flower was seen growing over the graves of soldiers?  The significance of the poppy as a lasting memorial symbol to the fallen, was realized by the Canadian surgeon John McCrae in his poem “ In Flanders Fields.”  Don’t forget to continue to come by the Remembrance Day Campaign table in the atrium during periods 3 & 4 so you can sign the “ I Remember” poppies and doves, and buy poppies to show your support for our veterans.
