05/29/2005: "Veterans and Poppies"

Toni Obrad & Dorothy Robinson offer poppies to shoppers at King's Market
Disabled Veterans make the poppies given out on Poppy Day. When you accept and wear a poppy you aid the living victims of past and current wars, and at the same time honor the fallen and the living servicemen of our country.

Contributions for poppies is used only for the welfare activities of the American Legion and Auxiliary that are devoted to rehabilitation and assistance for veterans and their families. The poppies may be obtained for the rest of this Memorial weekend from members of the American Legion/Auxiliary.

Don't forget to attend the parades and memorial services on your island this Memorial Day.
