"I am not just a crepe paper
flower. I am the glowing symbol of
the sacrifice of our American boys
who marched away, with heads so
high, to keep war from cur fair land
and were cut down in the prime of
their young manhood-who now sleep
on -foreign soil, under their white
crosses, row on row, where poppies
sway and toss, to caress each
cross".
"I am not just a bud of red paper,
wound together and fashioned by
thin weary hands of thpse other
thousands who marched away as i
the call of" country, only to return
home broken in body and spirit. I
am the symbod of their sacrifice
made daily behind white Hospital
walls.'
When we Auxiliary aldies march
on Poppy Day, May 28, may we pin
one over your heart for remembrance?
