Texas Lizard Posted May 18, 2024 Posted May 18, 2024 Red poppy time that is...Wife heading south to the Marine Base to fill up the pantry....Hopefully they are out by the PX with the table set up...As my dad would say, always get one...Something I still do today...But it is getting harder find them now...Many years ago they were outside the banks and many other places...Now, lucky if anyone understands what they are for...

Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted May 18, 2024 Posted May 18, 2024 Now py kolly I'll get me one if one can be found! You're right, they used to be sold here there and yonder, and haven't seen one for a very long time!
Subdeacon Joe Posted May 18, 2024 Posted May 18, 2024 Fewer and fewer veterans, and, I think, a lower percentage of them joining veterans organizations. So fewer people to man the tables.
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted May 18, 2024 Posted May 18, 2024 Our Marine Corps League and VFW sell them. The Legion might, too,
Sedalia Dave Posted May 18, 2024 Posted May 18, 2024 Friday the local DAV Auxiliary gave one to anyone that donated to their membership / fund raising drive. Took in about $600 .
