Start your own Memorial Day tradition. honor those who served in the U.S. Armed Forces.
Memorial Day Flowers is an annual tribute to honor those who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. You will give your community the opportunity to place roses at veterans’ gravesites at your local cemetery.
Invite your community to your branch/store to receive a complimentary rose to give to a veteran or place on a headstone during Memorial Day weekend. Conversely, you can hand them out at your local cemetery, or ask your associates to perform the Memorial Day Flower Tribute.
The Memorial Day Flowers Foundation will send a box of 250 roses by FedEx/UPS directly to your store on the Thursday or Friday before Memorial Day weekend.
A large MDFF banner and 250 handouts/flyers will be sent separately to your store.
For every box ordered through this program, 50 flowers will be given to visitors at Arlington National Cemetery over Memorial Day weekend.
Share the event details with your community through your social media, press releases, and local contacts.

We are true believers in The Memorial Day Flowers Foundation and being part of a project that honors those who have served.

THE VOICE OF FRIENDS
First and foremost I want to thank you for putting this together and for serving our country. It is an honor to be part of this. I had a great uncle who lost his life in the war and know several people who served. These men in my opinion made the ultimate sacrifice and I have no words to describe how grateful I am…so for this and many other reasons I volunteered for the beautiful event
