Edison Park American Legion Post 541 hasn't added a story.
My name is Laura Finnelly. I am the Commander of the American Legion Post 541 in Chicago asking for your assistance to support our Veterans.
- With the support of Congress, May 28 is designated as National Poppy Day. The red poppy is a nationally recognized symbol of sacrifice worn by Americans since World War I to honor those who served and died for our country in all wars
- Post 541 has a long history of participating in the annual Poppy Day Drive to benefit our veterans and the community by providing poppies to the community.
- Last year this fundraiser raised over $1,000 which enabled us to provide refreshments to the USO/O'hare for traveling military personnel at Thanksgiving and Easter.
- Unfortunately due to Covid, our post had to cancel all in-person events last year and this year but we hope that we will be able to increase our activity in the community soon.
- We would be so grateful for any donation that you would be willing to contribute.
- If you would like us to mail you actual poppies (not the real flower) please leave your address so we can send you those and a thank you letter
- We would so appreciate if you could share this with your friends and family.
- Thank you very much for your support!!
