Red poppies are one of my favorite flowers. They are a symbol of remembrance for those who sacrificed their lives in battle. They also signify resilience, hope, and rest. Poppies can lie dormant for years and thrive in disturbed soil. They are overcomers.
Today we honor those who gave their all so that others could live freely. I see their sacrifice in the wild red petals painted across the fields. Thank you. Your legacy lives on in each one of us.
