On August 25, 1939, the Wizard of Oz movie was released in the United States based on the novel written by L. Frank Baum. One of the more iconic scenes in the movie was when Dorothy, Toto and the Cowardly Lion were lulled to sleep by a field of poppies. Poppies are a bright and beautiful red flower and are often used as a symbol of remembrance. You can see them worn on Memorial Day and Veterans Day to honor the sacrifice of our military.
