The old adage that 10% do 90% of work is very true when it comes to handing out Buddy Poppies. If you would like to join the 10% and help out with our annual fund raiser, send an email to me at [email protected] and I’ll make sure someone contacts you. We just gave away funds to assist veterans and their families who were affected by the Oso slide. These funds came from our Buddy Poppy donations.
Memorial Day at the cemetery is simply showing up and honoring our dead. This year the veterans from D Day are being recognized. Our own Fred Dietrich will be the guest of honor. Fred parachuted into Normandy and participated in many operations during WWII.
