Highlights of various accomplishments of the Auxiliary, one fact will include that one of the Ladies, Mrs David Griner, created the first AmVets White Clover that was accepted as the Official Amvets National Flower. Originally called the "think of me" flower and later known as "Remember Me".

The sale of the white clover used to be a big production with many of the Top city officials buying the first lot of flowers.
