Honor our Vets this Veterans Day

“To Honor the Dead by Helping the Living,” wear a Buddy Poppy this Veterans Day, the VFW’s official flower.

By doing so, you not only help needy and disabled veterans, but also honor those who have sacrificed so much for the freedom we all enjoy today. The Buddy Poppy represents the blood shed by American service members and reiterates that the VFW will not forget their sacrifices.

VFW and Auxiliary members from Collins-Hurdle Post 5697 will be set up at Wal-Mart and will canvas the Square collecting donations on Friday, Nov. 10.

There will also be a roadblock in Potts Camp from 3-5 p.m. Please don’t pass by without accepting a Buddy Poppy from our members.

The poppies are assembled by disabled, hospitalized and aging veterans in VA hospitals and state veterans’ homes.

All proceeds from the distribution of poppies are used for veterans’ welfare or for the well-being of their dependents.
