Sgt Walter P Ryan Detachment Of The Marine Corps League Rose Fund Drive
The members of the Sgt Walter P Ryan Detachment of the Marine Corps League conducted a successful Rose Fund Drive at Publix Supermarket located at the intersection of US 301 and Symmes Rd. in Riverview on May 12.
In 1778, during the War of Independence, the Marine Corps Rose was dedicated to those Marines who made the Ultimate Sacrifice for their country. This tradition was continued by the French during World War I when the Marines attacked the Germans in the trenches at Belleau Wood, Roses were planted by the grateful French people at the graves of the Fallen Marines. When and where ever you see Leaguers or Young Marines distributing these remembrances take and wear one proudly.
The program was started by Marine Eddie Gallagher from New York, designed to parallel the VFW ‘Poppy’ program to provide funds for detachments to assist veterans and youth and provide other services to the community.
Locally, funds help with health and comfort items for hospitalized veterans, support programs such as bingo or holiday parties for hospitalized or retired veterans in Retirement homes, Scholarships, Assist youth programs and humanitarian aid.
