The Purple Poppy

for all creatures, great and small

February 24: The National Day for War Animals

The Purple Poppy recognises the extraordinary loyalty and courage of all animals who serve alongside our military in times of war and peace. On the frontlines of conflict protecting and supporting our diggers, or in the homes of veterans living with the trauma of service, these often unsung heroes have earned a place in the hearts of all Australians. The Purple Poppy also recognises the valiant work of search and rescue, and law enforcement animals that have served our communities and kept us safe for hundreds of years.

Behind the scenes of The Purple Poppy

For more than 30 years one small Canberra family business has been dedicating much of its effort to supporting veterans and preserving the history of military service. BrandNet has used major campaigns, like its five-year Australia in the Great War initiative, to share history and engage millions of Australians in stories of service. Through its campaigns BrandNet has raised and donated more than $1,000,000 to veteran causes, as well as giving thousands of hours to sharing military history.
