It's the story of a simple small red flower, a poppy known as Buddy Poppy. It all started in war-devastated France in World War I. The red poppy growing in Flanders Fields memorialized the deaths of American and Allied soldiers. ... In August 1922, they adopted the poppy as the official memorial flower of the VFW.
