Two locations hosted the event – Mike’s Discount Foods and Casey’s in Montgomery. Handing out poppies at the Casey’s location were State VFW Commander Ed Keogh and VFW State Auxiliary Sr. Vice President Jean Keogh. Proceeds from the VFW “Buddy”® Poppy program provide compensation to the veterans who assemble the poppies, provide financial assistance in maintaining state and national veterans’ rehabilitation and service programs, and partially supports the VFW National Home.
