2019 Falmouth Fireworks T-Shirt
Based on George M. Cohan’s World War I patriotic march:
“You’re a Grand Old Flag”
On the 100th Anniversary of the end of WWI in 1919, we celebrate REMEMBRANCE
The poppy became the symbol of Remembrance with the poem “In Flanders Field” when the author, a war-time surgeon, looked over a former battlefield in France to see that now poppies bloomed where the war had raged.
A solder salutes under the guiding light of Nobska Lighthouse with a bed of poppies at the base. With fireworks bursting overhead, we celebrate an emotional tribute to the day and “the Grand Old Flag.”
Shirt design by Falmouth artist Karen Rinaldo.
