In Flanders Fields the poppies blow, between the crosses row on row

A Canadian Forces member celebrates Remembrance Day Nov. 11, 2015 at an undisclosed location in Southwest Asia. For days leading up to Remembrance Day, Canadian service members pin a poppy flower to their uniform. The poppy symbol gained popularity following the publication of the poem which describes poppies growing in Flanders Fields atop the graves of fallen soldiers during World War I.
