Supporting the goals and ideals of "National Poppy Day".

HRES 1457 is a symbolic resolution designating the Friday before Memorial Day as "National Poppy Day" to honor veterans. It encourages all U.S. citizens, residents, and visitors to wear a red poppy on that day as a tribute to fallen and serving members of the Armed Forces. The resolution recognizes the poppy's historical significance, originating from World War I poetry and adopted by veterans' organizations to memorialize those who died protecting freedom and support disabled veterans. It does not create new laws or funding but formally supports this observance through congressional endorsement.
