Poppy Day, Auxiliary buys poppies from disabled veterans

May 25 became Poppy Day in the US and in countries that fought in the Great War.  The Poppies were made by disabled veterans and sold to the Auxiliary who then sold them to the public. Auxilary members, and Girl Scouts sold the poppies and the money was given to the disable veterans, most of whom lived in a Veterans Home in Bergen County.
