Have a very special Memorial Day weekend.

The wearing of poppies in honor of America's war dead is traditionally done on Memorial Day. In war-torn battlefields, the red field poppy was one of the first plants to grow. ... The practice of wearing of poppies was inspired by the poem In Flanders Fields, written in 1915 by Canadian soldier John McCrae.May 27, 2018

The Poppy: A Symbol of Memorial Day - The Maritime Executive
https://www.maritime-executive.com/features/the-poppy-a-symbol-of-memorial-day 
We Shall Keep the Faith

by Moina Michael, November 1918

Oh! you who sleep in Flanders Fields,
Sleep sweet - to rise anew!
We caught the torch you threw
And holding high, we keep the Faith
With All who died.

We cherish, too, the poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led;
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies,
But lends a lustre to the red
Of the flower that blooms above the dead
In Flanders Fields.

And now the Torch and Poppy Red
We wear in honor of our dead.
Fear not that ye have died for naught;
We'll teach the lesson that ye wrought
In Flanders Fields.
