I am a Life Member of Olney Memorial Post 4226 in Olney, Illinois. I joined under the eligibility of my husband, Ryan Higginbotham, an 82nd Airborne paratrooper that fought in Afghanistan and Iraq. I’ve been a member of the VFW Auxiliary for six years. I jumped right in when I joined and have served in many offices and chairmanships at the local and district levels. I’m very excited to be the Department “Buddy” Poppy and VFW National Home Chairman this year. Both of these programs are near to my heart and crucial in making life better for our Veterans and their families. Make sure to look around at all of the resources available to you and don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions. I look forward to seeing pictures of Poppy Displays and Poppy Drives as well as seeing many smiling faces on Illinois Day (September 23, 2023) at the VFW National Home!
