Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 914 ‘Intrepid’ of West Mifflin will be selling Buddy Poppies at various retail establishments in the borough over Memorial Day weekend.  Citizens who wish to support the more than century-old veterans’ service organization and the good work it does for area soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines can do so by purchasing poppies.

As an example of its activities, V.F.W. Post 914 budgets more than $1,500 each year to directly support the local VA patients through its visitation program. Other benevolent works it does includes purchasing food certificates for the widows of local veterans, buying telephone cards so those serving in Iraq and Afghanistan can call their loved ones, and financing scholarship and academic prizes for West Mifflin students.
