Veterans of Foreign Wars Buddy Poppy Program
Buddy Poppies are the official memorial flower of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States. Donations for poppies started in 1922, some 97 years ago, to help disabled veterans. Poppies are assembled by disabled and needy veterans in VA Hospitals. All expenses are paid locally by the Brainerd VFW so 100% of the money raised goes to needy veterans.
Brainerd VFW members, including Mark Persons were out last year and will be out again this year asking for donations at local businesses in return for displays.
Look for Buddy Poppies at business locations Friday and Saturday, May 17 and 18, 2019. Donate, get one and wear a poppy proudly.
