REMEMBER THE VETERAN On Saturday, May 20. all of us will be asked to wear a red memorial poppy. As most of you certainly know, once each year Americans observe Poppy Day which is a voluntary tribute to our war dead and disabled servicemen. By accepting one of these poppies from a member of the American Legion Auxiliary or some other volunteer we aid the living victims of the past wars while honoring our dead. The poppy grew in the battlefields of France and Belgium where American servicemen have fallen during two World Wars. In the years following the first World War the poppy came to be recognized as nature’s tribute to the war dead, and it was soon adopted as The American Legion and Auxiliary's official memorial flower.

The poppies you will wear on Poppy Day have an even greater signifigance than the flowers which bloomed on the battlefields of Europe. These memorial poppies you will be offered have been made in hospitals and workshops where the suffering of war still exists. The disabled veterans who make these flowers are able to gain a dual benefit from their work — the poppy program gives many men their only opportunity to support themselves and their families; and it offers them a productive pastime with which to combat long hours in the hospital wards. Volunteers who offer the poppies to the public — unlike the disabled veterans — receive nothing tangible for their work. However, these workers gain satisfaction from their contribution to a program which honors the war dead while assisting the living. Money dropped into contribution boxes in exchange for poppies goes directly to the welfare activities of The American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary; all funds are used for the aid of disabled veterans, their families, and the families of deceased servicemen. Understanding the character and purpose of Poppy Day, would any of us wish to ignore this appeal? 1 am sure all of us will consider it a privilege to w ear a poppy again this year on Poppy Day.
