Lockport VFW Post 5788 will be focusing on Poppy Days on Saturday, May 23 and Sunday, May 24, 2015. Volunteers are needed for both of these days. Poppies and containers will be available at the Post from 7:30 a.m. onward for both of these days.
For logistics purposes, it is best if you can let us know of your participation in advance. There is a sign-up sheet at the Post for time slots and locations. If necessary, you may call in your preference. If you cannot pre-sign for a time and location, walk-ins on the 23rd and 24th are always welcome.
Wearing of poppies to honor our fallen soldiers is taken from the poem
In Flanders Fields, written in 1915 by John McCrae.
