A flower tribute is a simple activity easily done by individuals and groups, including families, scout troops, and volunteering organizations to honor those who served in our Armed Forces. Parents can use this experience to help teach children about patriotism, history, and service. There are over a thousand National, Veterans’, and County Military Cemeteries across the country. Most local cemeteries have sections dedicated to interred service men and women as well. These graves are easily found by the flag placed before the headstone. You and your family can visit your local cemetery on Memorial Day and place a flower alongside the flag. We ask our volunteers to place a flower on the grass before each headstone, spend a moment to quietly read the inscriptions, and thank the interred for their service to our country.
