    My Dad and uncle John Schlotz (far left in 1971_11.130) marched in the parade. Next to John was a man I remember from the fire station. He and John were volunteer fireman.

    The Legion Post Miss Poppy is a contest organized by the American Legion Auxiliary for Junior Auxiliary members aged 6-12. It aims to promote the Auxiliary memorial poppy and engage young participants in spreading the message about the poppy’s significance. The poppy serves as a symbol of the sacrifices made by military personnel and is used to raise funds for veterans, active-duty service members, and their families with medical and financial needs.
