HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY

Memorial Day Poppy remembrance AdobeStock_325742432 copy.jpeg

Have you seen people wearing poppies on Memorial Day? This token of remembrance began during the First World War when a field surgeon noticed a shocking amount of poppies suddenly blooming on a battle ravaged field. The scene inspired him to write a poem and the tradition of wearing poppies in honor of fallen soldiers began.

We hope you and yours have a wonderful Memorial Day, and that - poppy or no - you take a moment to remember.
