Letter to the Editor: VFW thanks the community

Buddy poppy

To the Editor:

On behalf of Blackburn-Aurora VFW Post 3348, located in Shoreline, I would like to thank the residents of Shoreline for their extreme generosity in our Buddy Poppy event, in which the money collected goes to help veterans in need.

Some of the places we donate money to are the Shoreline Compass Center Veterans Housing, USO, Wounded Warriors Project, and many other worthy causes.

I would also like to thank the management and employees of Central Market, Shoreline and Safeway on 175th & 15th Ave NE who went out of their way to make us welcome at their stores.

Carl Christophersen, Commander
