The Great Flood of 1927

In the spring of 1927 the Mississippi overflowed its levees, flooding over 27,000 square miles in the most destructive flood in American history, far worse than the Katrina Hurricane. The "Buddy Poppy" was a remembrance of the casualties from WWl that was a charitable effort on behalf of the Veterans of Foreign Wars to "honor the dead by helping the living."
