WHEREAS the annual sale of Buddy Poppies by the VETERANS OF FOREIGN
WARS OF THE UNITED STATES has been officially recognized and endorsed by
governmental leaders since 1922; and
WHEREAS V.F.W. BUDDY POPPIES are assembled by disabled veterans, and
the proceeds of this worthy fund-raising campaign are used exclusively for
the benefit of disabled and needy veterans, and the widows and orphans of
deceased veterans, and
WHEREAS the basic purpose of the annual sale of BUDDY POPPIES by the
VETERANS OF FOREIGN WARS is eloquently reflected in the desire to "Honor the
Dead by Helping the Living"; therefore
I, TROY J. PILAND, MAYOR of the CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA, do
hereby urge the citizens of this community to recognize the merits of this
cause by contributing generously to its support through the purchase of
BUDDY POPPIES on the day set aside for the distribution of these symbols of
appreciation for the sacrifices of our honored dead.
I urge all patriotic citizens to wear a BUDDY POPPY as mute evidence of
our gratitude to the men of this country who have risked their lives in
defense of the freedoms which we continue to enjoy as American citizens.
