1 Poppy Day Dear Unit President and Poppy Chairman, Please read and feel free to print and share all information provided in your Poppy Packet. The distribution of the red crepe paper poppies has become a familiar tradition in almost every American community since the inception of the American Legion Auxiliary Poppy Program in The Poppy Program raises community awareness by educating the public about the symbol of the poppy and respect for sacrifice of service made by our veterans. The financial impact of the distribution of the memorial flower directly assist disabled and hospitalized veterans in our communities as well as providing therapeutic rehabilitation. Tips to elevate community awareness and how to have a successful Poppy Day 1. Contact the Local Media & News Paper two weeks in advance and ask them to help you get the word out about your poppy drive. 2. Print flyers and post them around town. 3. Set up in front of a grocery store or Wal-mart, because they are always busy. 4. Draw attention to your table with balloons, centerpiece, a banner with your units name and a printed poster of where donation goes. 5. Only have one person working the table and one person on every entrance. 6. Every member working the drive must have a hand-full or basket of poppies and a donation can with DONATIONS printed on it. 7. Approach every person that enters or exit the store and ask for donations for disable veterans. 8. Have fun, but most of all remember that you are there to raise funds and not to socialized with each other, so make every minute count. (This has worked for me on every fundraiser I have ever participated in. I use this technique with our unit s poppy drive and on the average we raised anywhere from $700 to $1100 in donations). Page 1
2 Have Fun and Get Creative with your Poppies Promote Poppy Day during the month of May for Memorial Day and in November for Veterans Day. Make the memorial poppy very visible to the public by promoting the Poppy Posters in your community schools. Print flyers and post them around town asking kids to participate in Poppy Poster Contest. There is publicity help available from Emblem Sales and news releases for the media that will be sent to you periodically. I have enclosed a sample of a proclamation proclaiming Poppy Week to help assist your unit. I encourage all the units to plan ahead, get creative with your poppies and participate in the following contest; Poppy Poster Contest: Promote the Poppy Poster Contest in your community schools. The posters need to be sent directly to me by June 1 st. Information and guidelines are enclosed in your packet. Poppy Centerpiece & Hat Contest: the Poppy Centerpiece and Hat Contest will be held at convention. The poppy centerpieces and hats will be judged at convention. We will have a hat parade if we have enough entries. Poppy Corsage Contest: The corsage contest will be held at the Mid Year Convention. We need 250 corsages that will be given to our own Girl State Delegates. If you need more poppy s for your unit any time of the year, there is always some available thru the Department.

5 Only A Paper Poppy Only some paper petals with two leaves of paper too only a paper poppy. Does, it mean anything more to you? The red is for the courage of the ones who fought and bled and then came back to spend their days in the ranks of the living dead. The green of the leaves reminds me of the sunny hillsides over the sea where rest the war torn bodies of those who died that war might cease to be. The cup that is formed by the petals covers a heart of gold. It stands for a labor of love whose value can never be told. Only a paper poppy but it holds the hopes and fears of numberless and their love ones as they carry on through the years. Page 5 Anonymous
6 American Legion Auxiliary Media Fact Sheet NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS 8945 N. Meridian St., Indianapolis, IN Contact: Stacy Poca, or Memorial Poppy WHAT: Seven million memorial poppies are distributed each year by American Legion Auxiliary members across the country to provide a therapeutic activity for veterans, raise awareness and raise funds to help veterans, military service members and their families. Red crepe paper poppies symbolize the sacrifices made by our military service members. Two million dollars are donated by people receiving the poppies each year. Up until recently,100% of the donated funds were used to help veterans. Due to the great needs of today s military families, The American Legion recently voted to expand the use of newly-collected funds to active duty service members and their families who demonstrate a financial or medical need. Most of the funds collected stay in the communities where they were collected. Veterans who make the poppies are paid a small stipend for their efforts. The poppy was inspired by the famous wartime poem, In Flanders Fields by Lt. Col. John McCrae, which begins In Flanders Fields the poppies blow between the crosses row on row (see attached for full text) The tradition of the memorial poppy can be traced to a single individual beginning in November 1918, Ms. Moina Michael, who bought a bouquet of poppies and handed them to businessmen where she worked. She asked them to wear the poppy as a tribute to the fallen of World War I. WHO: The American Legion Auxiliary has nearly 800,000 member volunteers serving veterans, military service members, and their families. There are 22,658,000 veterans in the U.S. military.* That is 7% of the U.S. citizenry, based on 2010 census data. Founded in 1919, the American Legion Auxiliary is the world s largest women s patriotic service organization. Its mission to serve veterans, the military and their families is carried out through hundreds of outreach programs delivered by its member volunteers. Page 6
7 WHEN: Memorial poppies are generally distributed on patriotic holidays such as Memorial Day and Veterans Day each year. WHERE: Poppies are distributed in various places throughout local communities. American Legion Auxiliary members can be found with poppies on sidewalks, in front of stores, at local meetings and more. American Legion Auxiliary members are active in more than 9,000 communities nationwide and around the world. The American Legion Auxiliary s National Headquarters are located in Indianapolis. To learn more visit WHY: Our volunteer military has been fighting American s longest war for 12 years. Less than 1 percent of Americans serve in uniform today, but they bear 100 percent of the burden of defending our nation.** Currently, more than 2.2 million service members make up America s all-volunteer force in the active, National Guard, and Reserve components. Fifty-five percent of the force is married and 40 percent have two children.** Only 37 percent of our families live on military installations; the remaining 63 percent live in more than 4,000 communities nationwide.** There are 1.8 million veterans age 35 and younger.* Their lives have been changed forever by their service to our country, and like all veterans, we owe them a debt of gratitude in making sure they are cared for. There are 3.5 million veterans with a service-connected disability.* There were a record high number of veteran suicides in 2012, and the suicide rate among active duty has increased 15% in the last two years. One veteran commits suicide every 80 minutes.* *From the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs **From President Obama s Strengthening Our Military Families report, January 2011 Page 7
