Veterans' Day Wreath

Originally called Armistice Day and celebrating the end of the "Great War" (WW I), Veterans' Day was later expanded to commemorate veterans of other conflicts. The wreath is made of toy soldiers, melted together, and decorated with a poppy, the use of which as a symbol commemorating veterans also dates back to WW I.
