This Travel Bug Dog Tag is attached to an American Legion Auxiliary Poppy Coin. My Mom picked up this coin while taking part in the American Legion Rider's Legacy Ride 2013 from Indianapolis, Indiana to Houston, Texas. Please move this Coin and Dog Tag from cache to cache.
Connecting the visual image of the poppy with the sacrifice of service made by our veterans has been an important goal of the American Legion Auxiliary Poppy Program since its inception in 1921. On Memorial Day and Veterans Day, millions of red crepe paper poppies—all handmade by veterans as part of their therapeutic rehabilitation—are distributed across the country in exchange for donations that go directly to assist disabled and hospitalized veterans in our communities.
The Poppy Program raises community awareness and respect for our veterans by educating Auxiliary members and the public about the symbol of the poppy, taken from a line in the poem “In Flanders Fields” written on the battlefront during World War I by Lt. Col. John McCrae, M.D.
During your travels with this coin, please take a picture of it at your local American Legion and post them here. Also please take the time to remember the solider's who fight for our freedom as Americans!!
