Memorial Day

When my two sons were members of the local Civil Air Patrol cadet program, they participated in the VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) Memorial Day ceremony as part of the color guard. Jeff and I went to watch our sons march along with a small hand full of people there to honor their loved ones.


I'm proud they were able to be a part of the Civil Air patrol and have the opportunity to honor and serve those that gave their lives for our country and their families. That experience changed the way we as a family celebrate, no.. observe Memorial Day.
Our boys are older now and have moved on from the cadet program. Now I have the opportunity to honor and serve by providing fresh flower wreaths for the VFW and the American Legion Memorial ceremonies.


I encourage any other florist reading this to step up and create something from the heart to show your thanks and respect.
A beautiful wreath is placed at the tomb of the unknown solider every Memorial Day. Aren't the solders buried in our own hometown cemeteries, who made the same sacrifices due the same respect?
