Auxiliary poppy symbolizes sacrifice Members of the American Legion Auxiliary of Midland Park will be offering poppies to the public throughout the month of May. The legion’s memorial poppies are a symbol of the price of war and the sacrifice of millions who served our country. Memorial poppy contributions benefit the rehabilitation and assistance for veterans and their families. During World War I, poppies grew wild on the battle- fields of Flanders and became a symbol of all the dough- boys had endured. The red bloom became a sign of hope for those who lived. For those who sacrificed their lives, the flower is a perpetual memorial. Midland Park Cleanup Day set for May 10 Volunteers are sought to assist in the Borough of Mid- land Park Cleanup Day on May 10. Individuals and com- munity groups are welcome. Contact Joe McElwain at jmmcelwain@verizon.net to sign up for this event.
