THE BLOOD RED POPPY OF FLANDERS IS IMMORTALIZED AS AN EMBLEM OF SACRIFICE AND REMEMBRANCE FOR THE HONORING OF THE THOUSANDS WHO LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES FOR THOSE IDEALS, WHICH WE, AS CANADIANS, CHERISH.  

THE POPPY CALLS UPON US TO REMEMBER NOT ONLY THOSE WHO HAVE DIED, BUT THOSE THEY LEFT DEPENDENT, AND THOSE WHO STILL SUFFER FROM HONORABLE WOUNDS AND DISABILITIES.  THE POPPY CHALLENGES US TO SERVE IN PEACE, AS IN WAR, TO HELP THOSE WHO NEED OUR HELP, AND TO PROTECT THOSE WHO NEED OUR PROTECTION.

LEST WE FORGET ~ 158 have died to date in Afghanistan
