ORIGINATED IDEA
The idea oC wearing the poppy
in memory oC all who died in the
World "War wan presented to the
American l-euion, by ono who from
all information obtainable, was the.
first in Amerira to thus wear the
poppy Miss Moina , Michael of
Athens, Georgia. The sreatcr part
of tho followini; was taken from
her history of its adoption.
It was on tho morning of No
vcmfc.H? 9. 1918, while sho was
serving on tho staff of tho Y. M.j
C...A overseas headtuarterH at
Hamilton Hull, Columbia Univer
sity. New York, that a soldier
placed In tho hands of Miss Monla
Michael a copy of the Ijidles
Home Journal with Col. John Mc
Crae's "Wo Shall Not Bleep" il
lustrated. In It; , .
.Alono.ln.hor-ofrice, illss Michael
read and reread this beautiful
verso whic h Immortalized tho
poppy, and studied the graphic Il
lustration. Hhe, cnusht the mes
sage, and o he had dedicated
herself to the service of her coun
try on the night that war was
declared, she at that time mado
a second dedication "To Keep
the Faith" and always wear a
poppy of Plunders fields as it sign
of remembrance of tho sacrifices
mado by those who fell. She
wrote this dedication in verso
"Oh you who sleep In Flanders
Fields
Sloop swoet lo rise anew.
We caught the torch you uirew
And holding high, wo keep tho
Faith
With all who died. j
"We cherish, loo. the poppy red
That grows on fields whero vulor
led; - .
It seems to signal to tho skies
That blood of heroes never dies,
But lends a luster to tho red
Of tho flowors that bluom aubvo
the dead '
In Flanders Fields!
"And now tho torch and poppy
red
We wear In honor of our dead. ,
Fear, not that yo liavo died for
naught
Wo'vo learned the lesson that yo
taught' , .
In Flanders Fields."
As she was penning tho last line
of this dedication, a committor,
from tho 25th conference of tho
Y. M. C. A., which was In meet
ing there at that tlmo, brought
hor a check for 10 In apprecia
tion of her efforts to make an
attractive hostess hotmo at their
headquarters. "How strange that
you should bring me this gift nt
this time." she replied, and I shall
buy with It bright red poppies.
Flanders Fields popples. "Do you
know why?" and sho showed tho
men tho poem and her answer.
They were so impressed that they
asked tho privilege of presenting
tho Idea to tho 2iHh conference
th"n meeting upstairs.
- The conference also was Im
pressed, and that afternoon Miss
Michael bought Bilk popples, and
after the adjournment of the con
ference tho men came downstairs
and asked for poppies to wear
tho first scene In America of
wearing the poppy for all who
died. The poppy Is now tho mem
orial flower. of the French, Brit
ish and Canadian World War
