The red poppy speaks where words fall short — a silent tribute to the sacrifices made for our freedom by the heroes who served and died for our country in all wars. ❤️‍🩹 The poppy is a reminder that their courage will never be forgotten. 🇺🇸

After World War I, the American Legion Family brought National Poppy Day® to the United States by asking Congress to designate the Friday before Memorial Day as National Poppy Day.

The Auxiliary promotes the poppy as a symbol of the sacrifices our military have made, a symbol to open people’s hearts and inspire them to donate to help support the future of veterans, servicemembers, and their families. 🇺🇸

Today, on National Poppy Day, wear a red poppy to honor the fallen and support the living. ❤️

Next Friday, May 22, is National Poppy Day! Although this flower is small, it is powerful! The poppy serves as a symbol of sacrifice to honor the fallen and support the living. 🇺🇸 Wear a red poppy on National Poppy Day to show appreciation and respect for all who have served and sacrificed in the U.S. Armed Forces.

Happy Mother’s Day 💙

Today, we honor and celebrate all mothers, especially the incredible military mothers who carry both pride and sacrifice in their hearts every single day. 🇺🇸

Military mothers know the strength it takes to support a child who chooses to serve our nation. We know the sleepless nights during deployments, the quiet worry during long periods of silence, the tears at goodbyes, and the overwhelming pride that comes with watching our children wear the uniform and serve something greater than themselves.

Whether your child is currently serving, deployed, a veteran, or forever remembered, your love, strength, and support matter more than words can express.

At Blue Star Mothers of America, Inc., we recognize that military mothers serve too. Through every deployment, every homecoming, every sacrifice, and every prayer, military mothers continue standing strong beside their children and our nation.

Today, we celebrate YOU. 💙

To every military mother, thank you for your strength, your sacrifices, your support, and your unwavering love.

Wishing all mothers a beautiful and blessed Mother’s Day. 🌸🇺🇸

Salute to Servicemembers Award is one of the most meaningful ways we honor our enlisted heroes.

Each year, the ALA recognizes outstanding enlisted servicemembers (E1–E9) from all seven branches:
Army • Navy • Marine Corps • Air Force • Coast Guard • Space Force • National Guard/Reserve

This award celebrates those who not only excel in uniform but also demonstrate exceptional commitment to their communities—truly embodying Service, Not Self.

What makes this award so special?
Any ALA member, Unit, or Department can submit a nomination. No Department approval. No waiting for convention. If you know a servicemember whose story deserves to be told, you can lift them up.

A complete nomination package includes:
• Online nomination form
• Narrative (up to 1,000 words)
• Photo of the servicemember in uniform
• Endorsement from their command group

All submissions are made through the ALA Membership Portal under: Committees, Awards and Reporting Salute to Servicemembers

Deadline: June 1, 2026
Award recipients will be honored at the ALA National Convention in Louisville, KY.

Now is the perfect time to reflect on the servicemembers in your community and begin drafting your nominations. Let’s ensure these heroes receive the recognition they truly deserve.
