Traditions+for+Remembrance+Day

=Traditions:= Because lots of red poppies were growing in the fields where the soldiers died. The red is supposed to represent the blood of the soldiers. Since 1920, the red poppy has been used as a symbol of commemoration to soldiers who have fallen in times of war. Poppies were among the first plants to bloom on the devastated battlefields of northern France and Belgium. Canadian Colonel John McCrae first described the Red Poppy, the Flanders’ poppy, as the flower of remembrance. November is the time of the year when we wear a red poppy in memory of those who sacrificed their lives for us during wars..
