For nearly 100 years, Bleuet de France has been helping combatants, war wounded, war widows and widowers, wards of the Nation and, more recently, victims of terrorist attacks. Cornflower, flower of remembrance and solidarity, takes root in the mud of the trenches of the Great War. The first world conflict which began 110 years ago left behind 1.4 million French dead and 20 million wounded and disabled. As the commemorations of November 11 approach, a day of homage to all those who “died for France”, the port of Le Bleuet directly demonstrates your support for this national work. From Friday November 1st to Monday November 11th, you will meet volunteers from veterans' associations, elected officials and even young people from municipal councils on the public roads who are mobilizing to collect your donations. Bleuet collections are special moments for meetings between generations, moments of citizenship and solidarity. Your generosity can also be expressed throughout the year on the official website of the Bleuet de France endowment fund.
You can also get involved in this national work by collecting Bleuet de France in your town. To do this, contact the Lot departmental service of the National Office for Combatants and War Victims who will issue you with a collector's card authorizing you to collect money on public roads as well as the necessary equipment.
