conformation of my above statement................
American soldiers brought home the image of the red bloom and planted it with the American Legion Auxiliary, where it has bloomed every year since. For more than 70 years, the auxiliary has sponsored Poppy Days to remind Americans that millions have made sacrifices to defend the nation and keep it strong. Auxiliary members hand out poppies to the public and collect donations to help assist veterans and their families.
The Legion encourages citizens to wear their poppy proudly to show their support for American Veterans.
