Poppy Day

Also know as Remembrance Day, Poppy Day is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth countries since the end of World War I to remember the members of the armed forces who have died in the line of duty. In honor of this day people will wear a red poppy flower. The red remembrance poppy flower has become a familiar emblem of Remembrance Day due to the poem "In Flanders Fields". These poppies bloomed across some of the worst battlefields of Flanders in World War I, their brilliant red color an appropriate symbol for the blood spilled in the war.
