THE AMERICAN LEGION FAMILY NATIONAL POPPY DAY®
This Special Edition Hopper is in Honor of National Poppy Day.
In the wake of destruction left behind by WWI in Europe – the poppy began to flourish in the war torn Flanders Field. Thought to be because of the lime enriched soil – the changing chemical make-up of the earth gave way to a striking sea of red poppies that endured, even to this day, as a symbol for memorializing the loss of many during war time.
What started as a poem in 1915 - has grown into a nationwide tradition to remember the sacrifices of those we have lost and honor the hope for which they did so.
The Hopper is not just a bag; it's your ultimate adventure companion designed to keep up with your on-the-go lifestyle without weighing you down. Its unique half-moon shape and size set it apart, offering a trendy and distinctive look that's sure to turn heads wherever your adventures take you.
In Flanders Fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
