Buddy Poppies

The Buddy Poppy has been used since 1921 to commemorate military personnel who have died in war. It was inspired by the World War I poem "In Flanders Fields". In 1922, the VFW became the first veterans organization to distribute Buddy Poppies nationwide.

Veteran Outreach

Coming home doesn't mean the battle is over. With over 10 times the amount of veterans lost to suicide than to combat operations in the same time period, there has never been a more important time to TAKE A STAND and DO something to support our veterans!! If you or someone you know is suffering from PTSD, we have people that have shared a similar experience and are ready to help.
