Memorial Day Poppy Stickers


Remembrance poppies or Buddy poppies honor fallen soldiers for Memorial Day or Remembrance Day/ Veterans Day.

I remember learning the poem "In Flanders Fields" as a grade school student - it still makes me stop and think about the human cost of war.

Print a sheet of Memorial Day poppy stickers and share the spirit of "Lest We Forget" with friends or family members.

Remembrance Day - Veterans Day - November 11

Remember All Veterans November 11
"World War I – known at the time as 'The Great War' - officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles outside the town of Versailles, France. However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of 'the war to end all wars.' " -- from History of Veterans Day, US VA web site
