Buddy Poppy History and Purpose in VFW Programs
The history of Buddy Poppies starts with Milwaukee in 1919 and expands to a national effort by the VFW and allied organizations. Proceeds support disabled veterans, orphans, veteran legislation, and relief, with funds split among a national home, hospitals, and local relief. The 1920s saw endorsements by generals and presidents, and this year poppies were produced at U S Veterans Hospital No 81 in the Bronx.
