Alexander American
Legion Post Commander Harold Timmerman recently spoke with me while
both of us happened to be at city hall. Timmerman said they received
$808, and some change, in donations during their Memorial Day Poppy
Drive.
The American Legion
Poppy Drive is an annual event to help raise funds for American
Legion posts. The poppies represent the poppy fields in France where
American Soldiers fought and died during World War I. The American
Legion was founded in France in 1919.
