THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE

Did you know .....Why poppies are worn on Veteran's Day?

Poppies were chosen as a symbol of remembrance due to a poignant image in WW1 field surgeon John McCrae's poem In Flanders Fields.(see below) In the poem, he wrote about seeing the delicate red flowers continue to flourish on the battle-scarred ground of Flanders.
