Memorial Day honors those who lost their lives while in service to the United States during peace and war.
“In Flanders fields the poppies blow/ Between the crossed, row on row”
These words, penned by Lt Col John McCrae, a Canadian who served as a brigade surgeon for an Allied artillery unit on the front lines in France during WWI, inspired a tradition across the world, wearing a poppy in honor of fallen soldiers on Memorial Day.
The Verbena/Petunia arrangement to be placed at the base of the MUD Park Veterans Memorial on Memorial Day represents Red Poppies.
If you lost a loved one while in service to our country, you are welcome to place an in ground sign near the MUD Park Veterans memorial to honor them through the Memorial Day weekend.
Have a safe Memorial Day weekend.
Your Terranova West MUD Board of Directors
