JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – DAV Chapter 31 will be conducting their annual Forget Me Not Drive Friday and Saturday, September 20th & 21st.

Volunteers and members from the area will be at Hugo’s Family Marketplace from 10:00 am to 4:00 PM those days to sell Forget Me Nots.

“Forget Me Not weekend is held nationally each September,” the chapter reports. “All of the money collected from the little blue flowers go to support Veterans programs in our state like the Veterans Home in Lisbon, ND, VA Transportation network and the Veteran’s Clinic here in Jamestown.”

The DAV has been involved with Forget Me Nots since the 1920’s following WWI for helping returning Veterans with getting them artificial limbs and any other help they may have needed.

“The idea of a Blue Flower came from returning Veterans who had seen the spring flowers on the graves of their fallen comrades.”

You’re asked to stop by Hugo’s Family Marketplace September 20th and 21st and make a donation to help out Disabled Veterans.

For more information or to make a donation, contact Rod Olin at 701-659-0308.
