Scope and content
On November 6, 1935, Bremerton's mayor J.A. McGillivray was photographed receiving a "Forget-Me-Not," a little blue lapel flower, from young volunteer Dorothy Harris. Miss Harris, carrying a basket and a handful of the "forget-me-nots," was wearing a special volunteer worker's cap. The sale was sponsored by the Bremerton chapter No. 5 Disabled American Veterans. Proceeds from the sale of the flowers were used for emergency relief, employment and rehabilitation service for war-time disabled veterans and their dependents. (Bremerton Sun 11/8/1935, pg. 1).
