Veteranpreneur Contest finalists: meet, vote and see the winner

The finalists for the American Legion Family's Veteranpreneur Contest will appear on Fox & Friends on May 25, National Poppy Day®. Watch from 6-9 a.m. ET to meet the finalists and see their poppy-themed products.

The public can cast votes for their favorite poppy-themed product May 25 and through the weekend at www.poppydayusa.org. The winner will be announced on Memorial Day, May 28.

The winning veteranpreneur will receive up to a $10,000 order for their product which will be sold in the online poppy shop through American Legion Emblem Sales.

After World War I, the red poppy became the memorial flower of the American Legion Family to honor those who fought and died during the war. The poppy has continued to serve as a symbol of honor and sacrifice, and the Legion Family encourages all Americans to wear or display a red poppy in support of National Poppy Day®.

The Legion's National Poppy Day® website at www.poppydayusa.org provides access to the Emblem Sales “Poppy Shop,” which offers an assortment of items such as Poppy Day pins, kits for making lapel poppies for distribution, fundraising containers, charms, scarves and more.

When showing National Poppy Day® support on social media, use the hashtags #PoppyDay and #LegionFamily.
