February 24th
The Purple Poppy® Initiative soon spread internationally to Great Britain, Canada, France, South Africa, New Zealand, and the United States, all of which now recognize February 24th and the Purple Poppy, honoring service animals and celebrating the human-animal bond.

The "Animal" Poppy
Most people are unaware that as well as the traditional red poppy worn to mark the Armistice Day of 11 November 1918, that there is also the purple poppy, remembering animals that died during conflict.

To commemorate all the animal deeds and sacrifices in war, the Australian War Animal Memorial Organisation (AWAMO) has issued a purple poppy, which can be worn alongside the traditional red one. Just like other countries including the United Kingdom people are encouraged to wear the purple poppy alongside the traditional red poppy as a reminder that both humans and animals have and continue to serve.

Buy a Purple Poppy and support The Australian War Animal Memorial Organisation. Lest we forget our four-legged diggers served too. People are encouraged to wear the purple poppy alongside the traditional red poppy as a reminder that both humans and animals have and continue to serve.
