Whereas there is no heart in Alaska that doesn t feel
a surge of pride and appreciation for the men who fought
that America might remain free, and

Whereas the bright red of the poppy in your lapel
is the symbol of your reverent memory of the boys who
fought and are still fighting, now
Therefore. I, Ralph C. Moore, Mayor of the City of
Palmer, do hereby proclaim Saturday, May 25, to be
Poppy Day in the City of Palmer, Alaska, and I urge all
citizens to observe the day by wearing the memorial
poppy.
