Plymouth VFW To Continue The Buddy Poppy Tradition

This week you will see our nation’s veterans throughout the country distributing Buddy Poppies. The members of VFW Post 6695 in Plymouth will be out in the Plymouth-Canton area distributing Buddy Poppies to all who would like one. They will also be taking donations for these poppies to help our veterans. The funds raised will go to the Veterans Relief Fund at VFW Post 6695. Jr. Vice Commander, James
Kendall, who served our nation in Iraq, and Afghanistan, is spearheading this event, and deserves recognition for the many hours it takes to coordinate this yearly event.

The Veterans Relief Fund helps our local veterans who may be having a hard time. This could be anything from helping to make a mortgage or rent payment, or paying a utility bill, to helping put some groceries
in the refrigerator for a veteran or their family who may be having a rough stretch financially.

Personally, I can’t think of a better way to thank our local veterans for their service, than to give them a hand up when needed. Any money donated, stays here to help our local veterans who are having a hard time of
it. This is a completely volunteer effort, so every nickel of the money donated, is distributed throughout the year to our local veterans in need.

Our veterans, and associates will be out on Thursday, May 10th, Friday, May 11th, and Saturday, May 12th. If you have an extra dollar or two, and would like to support our local veterans, they would be very appreciative, but even if you can’t donate, they will be happy to give you a poppy to wear for free, to honor those that have given their lives while serving our nation.

Our Veterans, and associates will be at these locations from 9:00 AM until 6:00 PM on Thursday & Friday, and from 8:00 AM until 5:00 PM on Saturday:
