"Veterans Helping Veterans"

"Remember It was the Veteran, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It was the Veteran, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It was the Veteran, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. It was the Veteran, not the campus organizer, who has given us the right to demonstrate. It is the Veteran who salutes the flag. Who served under the flag. Whose coffin is draped by the flag. Who allows the protester to burn the flag."  Father Dennis O'Brien, USMC

Yes, we are VFW 6796! Come joine with us to make things happen!

Help VFW Help a Vet - Donate at Buddy Poppy Fund Raisers

The VFW organized the first nationwide distribution of Buddy Poppies ever conducted by a veterans organization in May, 1922. Immediately thereafter, the poppy was adopted by the National Encampment held in Seattle, Washington during August of that year as the official memorial flower of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States of America.

Today, VFW Buddy Poppies are assembled by disabled, needy, and aging veterans in VA Hospitals, State Veterans Homes and domiciles across the country. The majority of proceeds derived from each campaign conducted by VFW Posts and their Ladies Auxiliaries is retained locally to provide for veteran services and welfare. The minimal assessment (cost of Buddy Poppies) to VFW units provides compensation to the veteran's rehabilitation and service programs, and partially supports the VFW National Home for orphans and widows of our nation's veterans.

Buddy Poppy proceeds represent no profit to any VFW unit. All the money contributed by the public for Buddy Poppies is used in the cause of veterans welfare, or for the well-being of their needy dependents and the orphans of veterans.

Wear a Buddy Poppy Proudly  -  Donate if you can - Remember Always
