In honor of National French week, and to annoy Dr. Ash, we will be presenting French facts each day this week and there will be famous French quotes and images of famous French people around halls.
Today, the 11th day of the 11th month, represents Armistice Day in France, the end of World War 1 in 1918. The Armistice was signed in the town of Versailles (versigh), outside of Paris. While many Europeans wear red poppies in November in remembrance of veterans and those lost to war, the French wear the blue cornflower on their shirts. Both flowers represent the little life that still was able to flourish among the disturbed soil from trenches and tanks in war-torn France and Belgium during WW1.
Sales of these lapel decorations originally benefited veteran organizations, veterans and their families, and in some countries still do. If you'd like a poppy or cornflower, ask a French Club member and we will make you one to honor those who served.
