The poppies grow…on Bagram Airfield: famed Canadian poem displayed at BAF
Royal Canadian Air Force Capt. Damien Miller and U.S Air Force Staff Sgt. Chelsea Rittenhouse, of the 455th Expeditionary Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron, stand in front of their artwork at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan. The design, drafted by Miller, depicts a red poppy above the storied poem, "In Flanders Fields." The poem and poppy have become symbols of remembrance in Commonwealth nations. The poem was originally written by Canadian Expeditionary Force Lt. Col. John McCrae following the Second Battle of Ypres in World War I, 1915. (U.S. Air Force photo by Capt. Keenan Kunst)
