Lisa Aguillard, left, finds donation for a Buddy Poppy on Saturday in front of Super 1 in Eunice. Offering poppies were Lidna Thibodeaux, president of the VFW 8971 Post Auxiliary, and Bernita Briscoe, treasurer of the VFW 8971 Post Auxiliary. They were assisted by 5-year-old Lily Briscoe. The VFW Buddy Poppy program provides compensation to the veterans who assemble the poppies, provides financial assistance in maintaining state and national veterans’ rehabilitation and service programs and partially supports the VFW National Home For Children.
