AFCENT works hand in hand with it's Coalition Forces. While we celebrate November 11 as Veteran's day our Coalition Forces celebrate Remembrance Day.
Remembrance Day honors the blood and sacrifice of military members who made the ultimate sacrifice and the end of World War I.
The red poppy worn during this time symbolizes the blood shed during battle and is worn as a symbol of remembrance for the service members who lost their lives. The symbolism of the poppy first started with the poem "In Flanders Fields" written by Lt. Col. John McCrae who was struck by the sight of red poppies growing on a ravaged battlefield.
