Every time Judi Welch begins knitting a red poppy, she reflects on her loved ones who served in earlier wars and her own valued time in the army.
“Knitting each poppy connects me to those who sacrificed before me and honors their courage.”
Judi and her fellow volunteers dedicate hours to creating poppies, a symbol of remembrance for both historical and current service members. Their work ensures that the sacrifices of veterans are never forgotten.
The Poppy Ladies remain steadfast in their mission to support veterans and preserve the memory of their efforts through this meaningful tradition.
Judi’s dedication illustrates how personal experience and respect for history inspire a powerful act of remembrance.
