Poppies Remind Veterans’ Service and Remembrance
Myrtle Point residents are urged to buy and wear poppies to honor the dead and support living veterans. Disabled veterans craft the paper flowers in hospitals and workrooms, gaining employment and therapy, while volunteers distribute them with no pay beyond the satisfaction of service. The Veterans of Foreign Wars also host their annual poppy day this Friday and Saturday.
