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. Author Barbara Elizabeth Walsh and
artist Layne Johnson worked with experts, primary documents, and
Moina's great-nieces to better understand Moina's determination to
honor the war veterans. A portion of the book's proceeds will
support the National Military Family Association's Operation Purple
(R), which benefits children of the US Military.
