Memorial Day--Poppy Day--Monday Memories

The Junior Auxiliary was selling poppies in Forreston, Illinois--probably 1950. My dad was the 13th District Commander of the American Legion, which had a total membership of 6,500 when he was membership chairman, and he was post Commander of Forreston in 1950.

I so enjoyed reading about your sweet family memories in regards to Memorial Day and the red poppies. Particularly since yesterday, I got this year's poppy in honor of my own father who has gone ahead of us to heaven. :) Have a blessed Memorial Day.
