Wall of Honor

Buddy Poppies

The VFW conducted its first poppy distribution before Memorial Day in 1922, becoming the first veterans' organization to organize a nationwide distribution. The poppy soon was adopted as the official memorial flower of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States. In February 1924, the VFW registered the name "Buddy Poppy" with the U.S. Patent Office. A certificate was issued on May 20, 1924, granting the VFW all trademark rights in the name of Buddy under the classification of artificial flowers. The VFW has made that trademark a guarantee that all poppies bearing that name and the VFW label are genuine products of the work of disabled and needy veterans. No other organization, firm or individual can legally use the name "Buddy" Poppy. Today, VFW Buddy Poppies are still assembled by disabled and needy veterans in VA Hospitals. The minimal assessment (cost of Buddy Poppies) to VFW units provides compensation to the veterans who assemble the poppies, provides financial assistance in maintaining state and national veterans' rehabilitation and service programs and partially supports the VFW National Home for orphans and widows of our nation's veterans.

Veteran Outreach

Coming home doesn't mean the battle is over. With over 10 times the amount of veterans lost to suicide than to combat operations in the same time period, there has never been a more important time to TAKE A STAND and DO something to support our veterans!! If you or someone you know is suffering from PTSD, we have people that have shared a similar experience and are ready to help.

Commander Trevor Brooke

Greetings Comrades,

The Celebration of America 250th year is upon us. Please have a safe and happy 4th of July and please enjoy the fireworks. We’re a little disappointed that the Post had no activities this year, but with better planning and recruitment of new members we hope to celebrate the holiday next year. We are very proud to have received over $500.00 in donations from our Buddy Poppy Drive. I would like to thank Anderson Grocery Outlet, Safeway and Ace Harware for allowing us to set our Poppy Boths at their locations.
 
Watch our calendar and flyers at the Post for upcoming events and please bring your friends and neighbors, kids are always welcome as we are a Family Post and Organization. There are many events and programs coming up that will need Volunteers. There will be sign up boards at the Post when you walk in the door to put your name and contact information on the events you would like to be a part of.
 
Thank you to everyone, for all you do and have done. I hope to see you at the Post. – Trevor
