So it's happened all over again. In 2017 our VFW was kicked out of the post office as a place to distribute our poppies twice a year due to a change in management.
We found a new home when Mission BBQ opened on Jefferson road. As a big proponent of veterans, their walls are covered with pictures of local veterans, they welcomed us in and have allowed us to distribute poppies during memorial day and veterans day.
But alas, management changes there has resulted in our VFW being banned from distributing poppies there as well. I guess their "mission" is changing.

We're distributing poppies this week. Stop over.
