Photographed from a different vantage point than its companion image, this scene again documents the VFW's 'Buddy Poppy' campaign in Sacramento, California - a fundraising tradition in which youth volunteers distributed hand-made poppies to raise money and awareness for disabled and needy American veterans. Such civic ceremonies, often photographed for local press or organizational archives, illustrate the close ties between military-affiliated veterans' organizations and their surrounding communities in the mid-20th century.
