  • Poppies Every Year Just for the Band
    When I was in high school, we always invited all of the local veterans to a breakfast, and then an assembly to honor and thank them. The flags were always presented in military style, there was a speaker, and the band played a medley of the armed forces songs. As the different branches songs were playing, the branch would be announced and the veterans from that branch were invited to stand and be recognized. I was always surprised by how, in a small town of around four thousand five hundred people, how many veterans would be present. As part of the band, I was always given a red paper poppy to wear on my band uniform. If I remember right, they were handmade by the local legion. They made a hundred poppies every year just for the band. This is because red poppies are the symbol for sacrifice, and are worn in memory of the fallen. So how did a flower that isn’t even native to the United States become a symbol for the armed forces? The story goes that the war torn fields in Europe that had also been used as a burial ground for fallen soldiers was covered in red poppies the following spring. A Canadian physician by the name of Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae was inspired by these flowers and wrote the poem “In Flanders Fields”. If you aren’t familiar with the poem, McCrae uses the voice of fallen soldiers to tell their story. In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below There are two more stanzas to the poem that I won’t list here.

  • Two American Holidays Moina Michael
    WP514 Two American Holidays The fighting in World War I stopped on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918. The next year, President Woodrow Wilson said that November 11, 1919, would be a day of public celebration and parades to remember the end of the war. In 1938, it became a national holiday and was called Armistice Day. In 1954, the name of the holiday was changed to Veterans Day. It is now a day that has been set aside to thank all members of the American armed forces for their service. Many people today celebrate Memorial Day, the last Monday in May, with family picnics, parties, and lake trips. The day is often thought of as the beginning of summer. On May 5, 1868, General John Logan set the first official Memorial Day as May 30, 1868. Flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers in Arlington National Cemetery. Soon after the end of World War I, Memorial Day became a day for America to honor those who had served bravely in any war, not just the Civil War. Moina Michael Moina Michael was born in 1869 in Good Hope, Georgia. She studied in Georgia and New York City and spent the next fifty years as a teacher. After the United States entered World War I, she left her job at the University of Georgia and volunteered to teach people who were going to help the soldiers in Europe. After reading a poem titled “In Flanders Fields,” Mona Michael decided to write her own poem in honor of American soldiers.

Moina continued her successful career as a teacher in Georgia when she was caught overseas as World War I broke out in Europe. Although her vacation was interrupted, Moina helped thousands of stranded Americans book safe passage back to their homeland. After America entered the war in 1917, Moina applied to volunteer with the YMCA Overseas War Workers, the only war effort that was open to a 48- year-old woman eager to contribute. She also gave a keepsake to each student who was deployed—her own private war effort. Moina traveled to New York City the following year to work at the YMCA Overseas Secretaries training headquarters, with the hope of eventually being stationed overseas.
