PROCLAMATION
POppy DAYS
May 11 and 12, 1990
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
WHEREAS, each year, our citizens are afforded an opportunity to pay
tribute to those many members of our Armed Forces who sac-
rificed their lives in the defense of our great Nation and
whose gallantry should continue to be an inspiration to every
citizen who enjoys the freedom and benefits of the United
States of America; and
WHEREAS, it is fitting and proper that special honor be given our war
dead, memories of them brightened, and special recognition to
be given to thousands who continue to pay in suffering, dis-
ability and illness resulting from services to their country;
and
WHEREAS, wearing a Red Poppy or replicas made by hospital ized vet-
erans throughout the year is symbolic of reverance and re-
spect; and
WHEREAS, a period is designated each year when these Red Poppies are
sold by the American Legion Auxiliary and the proceeds from
these sales is used for rehabilitation of disabled veterans and
the welfare of their dependents.
NOW, THEREFORE, I , Robert L. Hawks, Mayor of the City of Boze-
man, Montana, do hereby proclaim May 11 and 12, 1990 as
POppy DAYS
in the City of Bozeman and urge every citizen to give generous recog-
nition to this program and to obtain and wear a Memorial Red Poppy on
these days.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have
hereunto set my hand and caused
the great seal of the City of
Bozeman, in the State of Montana, to
be affixed at Bozeman, Montana, this
9th day of April, in the year of
our Lord, One Thousand Nine
Hundred and N in y.
