Legion’s Poppy
(Contlnuen from page 1)
symbol of the sacrifices of their dead
camrades.
"It was a poet who first gave ex
pression to the idea. Soon himself
to lie beneath the poppies, he wrote:
"In Flanders’ fields the poppies
blow, between the crosses, row on
row.’’
"Even before the men had return
ed f/om war, the perfect little poem
of Colonel John McCrae had winged
its way around the world carrying
the picture of the poppies. Return
ing soldiers brought the vision of
the poppy fields back with them,
engraved indelibly in their hearts
with the memories of the comrades
they had left on the battle-front. !
Spontaneously the poppy took on a |
sacred significance. It became the
flower of remembrance for the re
membrance for the men who had
poured out their life's blood around
the roots of the little plank
“Memories of the war dead al
ways bring thoughts of those who
did not die but came back doomed
to years of hardship and suffering,
sometimes worse than death. In the i
poppy was found away to link the ;
honoring of the dead with service
for the living victims of the war.
Soon after the war patriotic organ
ization in different countries began
to conduct sales of poppies made by
disabled veterans, to raise funds for
relief work among suffering ex-ser
vice men and their families. A
double significance became attach
ed to the poppy. Wearing the little
flower came to mean honoring the
dead and helping the living.
"The poppy also became the
memorial flower of the British Le
gion. Other American Veterans' or
ganizations followed The American
Legion and Auxiliary in adopting it
as their official flower of remem
brance. Soon many millions of the
little red flowers were being worn
each year in all parts of the English- i
speaking world, to honor the World
War dead and to aid the War's liv- !
ing victims.
"The nation-wide sale of mem- I
orial poppies was begun by the Lc- •
gion and Auxiliary in 1921. At first

silk poppies made In France by |
French Widows and orphans were
used. In 1922 the first popples made
by American veterans were produc
ed in the hospitals of Minnesota,
and this work has steadily expand
ed until poppies are being made in
more than fifty hospitals and dis
abled veterans' workrooms in forty
different states.
"By 1924 it was seen that the
poppy program lent itself more nat
urally to the work of women than
the men, and The American Legion
gave the Auxiliary complete charge
of the national program. This was
a heavy responsibility. Wearing the
flower was the nation’s annual tri
bute to the World War dead. From
the distribution of the flower came
a large proportion of the welfare
: and relief funds of both organiza-
I tions.
' How. well the Auxiliary measured
up to the responsibility placed on
its shoulders is shown by the devel
opment of the poppy program. Each
year approximately 13,000,000 Amer
icans wear Legion and Auxiliary
! poppies in tribute to the war dead,
I contributing for the flowers over a
| million dollars for the welfare of
the war's living victims.”
