And what a great way to honor our veterans on this Memorial Day weekend. It was truly touching to see all of the cars, jeeps, motorcycles, buses, etc. all bringing volunteers to place flags throughout the Cemetary. We were proud to be part of such a great project.Attachment 51693
The Villages had 2 buses going and I participated in the flag placings also. What a moving experience and I was proud to be part of it as well.
