The debris and rubble from First World War in France and Belgium caused soil to become rich in lime, causing the small red flowers to grow around gravesites of dead soldiers. The poppy came to prominence after Canadian Artillery doctor John McCrae wrote the poem In Flanders Fields in Moina Michael was on duty in the reading room two days before the Armistice in 1918 at the YMCA Overseas War Secretaries headquarters in New York, a place where U.S. servicemen would gather to say their goodbyes to family before heading overseas, where after reading In Flanders Fields made a personal pledge to always wear the poppy as a sign of remembrance and for keeping the faith with all who died. People can thank Anna Guérin for the artificial poppies worn on lapels. Inspired by Michael s thought of the poppy as a memorial flower when attending the national American Legion convention as a representative of France s YMCA Secretariat in 1920, Guérin felt the scope of the memorial poppy could be expanded to help the needy, suggesting artificial poppies could be made and sold as a way of raising money for the benefit of orphaned children and others who had suffered greatly as a result of the war. In 1921, Guérin visited Canada and convinced the Great War Veterans Association of Canada (predecessor to the Royal Canadian Legion) to adopt the poppy as a symbol of remembrance in aid of fundraising, which it did on July 5 of that year. Today, the Poppy Campaign is one of the Royal Canadian Legion s most important programs. The money raised from donations provides direct assistance for veterans in financial distress, as well as funding for medical equipment, medical research, home services, long-term care facilities and many other purposes. ~ information provided by Veteran Affairs Canada Note: periodically meetings are postponed for a variety of reasons.
