OK. It's a mule, not a donkey. Thanks for the link.
But the explanation given on this page is non-sense for me: <<... who felt that at least one Missouri team should be known as "Mules".>>. The page gives information about "when" and "who", but not about "why". Any idea ?

It is the Missouri's state animal. Try Google for Missouri mule.

My son in London has confirmed that the button has arrived for me C/o his address.

Good work and co-ordination on your part Xyzzy.

My thanks to all those concerned in sending the buttons, not to forget the disabled who contributed in writing out the addresses.
