Letter to the Editor: Appreciation for poppy support

To the Editor:
The American Legion Auxiliary appreciates the wonderful support and generosity of the Waukon business people.
The monies received from poppy sales will be used to aid veterans and their families only. The unit sends birthday and holiday cards to those in local nursing homes. We distribute gas cards and food cards to help veterans. We send a donation to the Wounded Veterans Association every year. This once-a-year collection also provides the money for scholarships given to graduating seniors.
The Auxiliary also appreciates the efforts of all of the ladies who worked during the Friday distribution and the Boy Scouts who helped out Saturday morning.
The Auxiliary is grateful to the community for its continuing support.

Sincerely,
American Legion Auxiliary Poppy Committee 2014
