It's Meet Your National Ambassadors Monday!
Donna Marie King of South Carolina is our 2026-2027 National "Buddy"® Poppy Ambassador. A Life Member of 10624, she joined on the eligibility of her husband, who served in the U.S. Air Force; he was also VFW Post Commander for 13 years and District Commander from 2018 to 2019. King has served the organization in many capacities, including District and Department President and Department Chairman for Youth Activities, Veterans & Family Support, Americanism and Auxiliary Outreach.
One of her focuses as National "Buddy"® Poppy Ambassador is educating the public on what the "Buddy"® Poppy represents, who distributes the poppies and why so that people will have a better understanding of why we do what we do. King writes, "With your VFW, have an event educating your community on the “Buddy”® Poppy. Let’s see who can come up with interesting ideas and let’s make sure we SWAP (Share Wonderful Auxiliary Projects)."
