Legion Auxiliary prepares for Poppy Day

The American Legion Auxiliary ladies recently met to attach poppies to posters promoting National Poppy Day.

The community contributed over $3,000 from last year's campaign. The auxiliary appreciates all those who donated. The auxiliary uses every penny to support our veterans, active military, emergency responders and their families.

Poppy Day is celebrated in countries around the world. The American Legion Family brought National Poppy Day® to the United States by asking Congress to designate the Friday before Memorial Day, as National Poppy Day.

On the Friday before Memorial Day, wear a red poppy to honor the fallen and support the living who have worn our nation's uniform.
