Many anniversary certificates
My thanks to everyone that participated in honoring our veterans this past week. I am overwhelmed and overjoyed by the enthusiastic response of our Districts, Clubs, and individual members. Mirroring the spirit of "Wreaths Across America", wreaths were placed at individual graves, community Veteran memorials, and Blue Star markers by our Garden Clubs. Some were placed quietly, some with small groups of Garden Club members, others with community officials and Supervisors, Patriot Riders, and Honor Guards Snow storms and road closings delayed a few.
One dedication at the Naval Park was especially moving. The bells from the USS Little Rock began to toll the noon hour, followed by chimes that played the anthems of all of the branches of service. Words cannot describe the emotion generated . We are all part of something bigger, and part of a wonderful community. I thank you all for being a part of it, and especially, for letting me be a part of it.
Wishing you all a Happy and Healthy New Year!
