OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: POPPY: More than 3,500,000 poppies made by disabled veterans are distributed on the streets under the supervision of the American Legion Auxiliary by approximately 125,000 volunteers. The memorial poppies are made of red crepe paper, by hand, by disabled veterans in hospitals and poppy workrooms in forty states, and the workers receive pay for each poppy made, the material being furnished free by the Department in the state in which the hospital is located. The total proceeds of over $2,100,000 are spent on programs devoted to Veterans Affairs and rehabilitation work by both The American Legion and Auxiliary, which includes aid to needy veterans and their families including more than $300,000 which is paid annually to needy and disabled service men and service women who make the poppies. The method of distribution varies in each Department, depending upon the nature of the demands for help. Each of our 10,500 Units in communities scattered all over the United States and its territorial possessions, and in foreign countries where veterans reside, maintains a Veterans Affairs and Rehabilitation Committee working under a chairman, and a Children and Youth Committee with its chairman.
