With the Poppy Campaign gearing up, what are some of the ways Canadians can show their support for Veterans outside of wearing a Poppy? Here are some ideas!

- Show you Remember by posting a photo of your Poppy on social media, and use #GetYourPoppy

- If you’re a local organization, contact your local Legion branch about requesting a collection box to support the Poppy Campaign.

- Donate to the National Poppy Fund Online: https://t.co/MRHSII3DI9

- Join the Legion! https://t.co/MB6pRO3mcP

A yearly reminder from The Royal Canadian Legion.

With our Poppy campaign approaching, you will likely begin to see a variety of retailers illegally selling products using the Poppy for profit – including flags, hats, shirts, etc.

The Royal Canadian Legion holds the trademark on the Poppy, and this is to ensure that this sacred symbol of Remembrance is used with the utmost respect, and to protect it from unauthorized retailers misusing this symbol for profit.

When purchasing your Remembrance items, please ensure they’re from an authorized seller, or directly from your local Legion, or The Poppy Store. https://t.co/55a0Pa62Bg

Today marks the 30th anniversary of the Battle of Medak Pocket.

2nd Battalion 2 PPCLI was caught in an aggressive 14-day Croatian Army offensive. Ultimately, the soldiers imposed their will on the Croatian and Serbian armies, created a buffer zone and enforced a ceasefire.

If you fix it, they will come back. How a small town in Quebec revived its Legion.
