VFW Post #1578 Poppy Days

Woodridge Memorial VFW Post 1578 will hold its annual BUDDY POPPY DAYS drive on Friday, May 18th, and Saturday, May 19th. 

Members of the VFW will be on the corner of 75th and Janes Avenue on both days due to the construction on 75th and Lemont. Members will also be at the Jewel on both days. 

Buying a Buddy Poppy and helping the VFW continues to benefit needy veterans today, just as it has for so many years. To date, the VFW has sold over one billion Buddy Poppies. As long as Americans continue to spill their blood in defense of freedom, sales of these blood-red poppies will undoubtedly continue strong.
