While you may be on our your 2nd, 3rd or 4th poppy this year, no one ever seems to mind because of the cause.
Proceeds donated for poppies every year go towards the needs of veterans and to pay for the Remembrance Day poem and essay contests and a whole lot more.
District Commander for the Saint John Legions Larry Lynch tells CHSJ News the poppy campaign year ends on September 30th.
He says any money left over can be used strictly for things like donations to charities and in the past they have donated to the Bobby's House hospice and to prostate and breast cancer research.
Lynch says the farther we get from the Great Wars and the Korean War..the more important it is to remember all vets including the most recent ones from Afghanistan.
