Dear Editor:
Smile when you make a donation for your poppy.
Remember that it is the most grateful investment of your loose change you can ever make.
Men and women volunteers to distribute poppies and are offering you once a year the opportunity to personally thank the service men and women who have made the supreme sacrifice, and those countless men in hospitals who may never again be physically fit.
Maybe the government does give a few bucks a month to their survivors, and maybe the disabled are given free hospitalization, but the help you can give them through the Buddy Poppy Campaign conducted by their own organization comes from your heart, not through what you are forced to pay in taxes.
So, donate for the poppy and proudly wear it when offered by a Veteran of Foreign War volunteer.
