Trout Days: BUY A BUDDY POPPY & HELP A VETERAN!
Poppies will be distributed in Preston on May 17-18, 2024.
In 1924, the VFW registered the name “Buddy”® Poppy with the U.S. Patent Office. The “Buddy”® Poppy represents the blood shed by American military service members and reminds us of their sacrifices. The “Buddy”® Poppy is assembled by disabled and needy veterans in VA medical facilities.
Proceeds from the VFW “Buddy”® Poppy program:
• Provide compensation to the veterans who assemble the poppies.
• Provide financial assistance in maintaining state and national veterans’ rehabilitation and service programs.
• Partially supports the VFW National Home for Children.
