Supporting the goals and ideals of "National Poppy Day".
This resolution (HRES 443) is a symbolic gesture by the U.S. House of Representatives supporting National Poppy Day, observed on the Friday before Memorial Day. It formally endorses the tradition of wearing red poppies to honor veterans who died serving in the U.S. Armed Forces, referencing the poppy’s historical symbolism from World War I. The resolution encourages all U.S. citizens, residents, and visitors to wear a poppy that day as a sign of appreciation for military service. It does not create new laws, programs, or obligations - it is purely a statement of recognition.
