To the editor:
VFW Post 3838 and their Ladies Auxiliary would like to thank all who participated in our recent Buddy Poppy campaign. The community recognized this symbolic flower and contributed generously. All proceeds from the Buddy Poppy campaign must be placed in our Relief Fund to be used only for hospitalized and needy veterans or their families, and local youth projects.
Special thanks must go to our volunteer members, our Boy Scout Troop 5 and their parents, the giving public and the following businesses who allowed the distribution to be conducted on their property: Food Giant, Wal-Mart, Sams, K-Mart, U.S. Post Office, Thorngate, Bank of America and Daytimers.
Each of you truly "Honored the Dead by Helping the Living."
Bill Humphries and Sandi Goodheart
