Some of the bloodiest fighting of World War 1 took place in the Flanders and Picardy regions of Northern France .The poppy was the only thing which grew in the aftermath of the complete devastation. After the winter blooming poppies covered the fields, hiding the horrible signs of the battles.

The Armistice was signed at 11am on 11 November 1918. Two years later the American Legion adopted the Poppy as a national symbol of remembrance, and after that poppy became a symbol of remembrance throughout the world.

November 11th is the day to honor all victims of all wars. It is called either Remembrance Day or Veterans’ Day. People wear red poppies and have two minute silence at 11am.
