EVAPORATIVE 1
Ir Coolers!
Following ia a theme, written by
Mary Katherine Kitchens, which
won first place in the aixth grade
on the American Legion memorial
flower, the poppy:
THE VETERAN SPEAKS
We, the Veterans, at the Waco
Veterans Hospital, are making
poppies.
\ The world doesn’t know what
the poppies meant to us during
the World Wars. At times it was
the only bright spot in our life. It
seemed that the poppies always
grew where we were in combat.
When the battles were over
some soldiers were wounded and
others had fallen, but the poppy
as always standing there. Its
bright red cups and its green
leaves gave us courage and
strength to help us go on and
strive for victory .
We veterans are proud to make
the bright red and green poppies
because this flower means so much
to us. We love and cherish it for
it reminds us of our comrades who
died in combat and who now lie-in 1
Flander’s Field beneath the pop-1
pies.
So honor the dead and remem- |
her the soldiers who fought for j
freedom in the World Wars, by
wearing a poppy on “Poppy Day.”
