Buy A Poppy
Kodiak residents who pin poppies on their lapels today
will be doing more than paying honor to American dead of
three major wars.
The pretty r^d flowers are made by disabled veterans
and the money fr>m the sales eroes to them. The flowers are
replicas of those that grow in battlefield cemeteries in Europe
A part of the money goes to help the families of sick
and disabled veterans. While it is impossible to repay those
men and worn m who gave their lives in the service of their
coui.try we can give some measure of he'p to those who are
now l.v'n ' but d stbhd Buy a p ippy and wear it proudly.
Your help will make conditions easier for some deserving
veteran.
