It is just a little red, crepe paper flow er but it has been fashioned by the hands of hospitalized veterans and it flows with a reflection of heroic service in the cause of Human Freedom. The American Legion Auxi liary calls attention to the fact that wearing a Memorial Pop py on Poppy Days, May 30 and 31, will honor the more than half-million Americans who died and the nearly one mil lion wounded during World Wars I and II, the Korean War and the current Vietnam con flict. The American Legion adopt ed the Poppy as its Memorial Flower at Kansas City in 1921 and assigned the program to the American Legion Auxiliary in 1924.

Members were shown various animals and de signs, naturally carved, i n driftwood and displayed in an artistic setting or mounted in the midst of scenes painted by the artist.
