VFW Buddy Poppy Season Underway
VFW Post 10184 is selling the flowers so citizens can thank the vets.
Memorial Day comes at the end of May, but the act of celebrating those who have served in the military is underway in Parsippany.
Mayor James Barberio helped kick off the annual Buddy Poppy Fundraiser Friday at Town Hall.
Since 1922, the Buddy Poppies, red flowers with an attached message of thanks and support, have been crafted by hospitalized veterans. They are considered an integral part of the VFW's work and the national show of support for those who have served.
