28 May 2007, Senior Airman Sondra McKenzie (right) and Senior Airman Scott Williams place a wreath in place so that service members can place "buddy poppy's" on the wreathe for fallen service members during a Memorial Day Ceremony at the Base Theatre aboard Al Asad Air Base, Iraq. The buddy poppy became associated with the war after the publication of a poem written by Colonel John McCrae of Canada. The poem, "In Flanders Field," describes blowing red fields among the battleground of the fallen. The service members are deployed as a part of Multi National Forces-West in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in the Al Anbar province of Iraq to develop the Iraqi Security Forces, facilitate the development of official rule of law through democratic government reforms and continue the development of a market based economy centered on Iraqi reconstruction.
