American Legion Auxiliary volunteers will distribute the familiar red, handcrafted poppies, honoring America's veterans, on Friday, May 4, and Saturday, May 5, designated as Poppy Days by Auxiliary Unit No. 15 in Detroit Lakes.
Each nine-piece poppy is made by veterans for veterans in auxiliary-sponsored poppy shops that supplement physical and psychological therapy needed by hospitalized and disabled veterans.
The poppy reminds Americans of the price of war and the sacrifice of millions of lives, as well as honors all of America's veterans.
