Here
is
the
inspiring
story
behind
the
Veterans
Day
red
poppy,
a
symbol
that
honors
the
service
and
sacrifices
of
our
veterans.When
American
soldiers
entered
World
War
I,
Moina
Belle
Michael,
a
schoolteacher
from
Georgia,
knew
she
had
to
act.
Some
of
the
soldiers
were
her
students
and
friends.
Almost
single-handedly,
Moina
worked
to
establish
the
red
poppy
as
the
symbol
to
honor
and
remember
soldiers.
And
she
devoted
the
rest
of
her
life
to
making
sure
the
symbol
would
last
forever.
Thanks
to
her
hard
work,
that
symbol
remains
strong
today.
