Brig. Gen. Clark W. LeMasters, Jr., the commander of the 13th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) shakes hands with an Army veteran upon completion of the Sun City Veterans Day ceremony at the Georgetown-Williamson County Veterans Memorial Plaza Nov. 11, 2013. LeMasters talked about how he celebrated Veterans Day a year prior in Afghanistan, with multinational forces, in a colorful ceremony. He told his audience how wearing red poppies to honor Veterans Day, Armistice Day or Remembrance originates from a poem, "In Flanders Fields," about the poppies that covered the blood-stained fields of Flanders, Belgium, written by Canadian Lt. Col. John McCrae.
