Some of us cannot afford $100 but they will accept $15 to purchase one wreath. Also, volunteers are needed all across the country and, perhaps, on some foreign battlefields. Thank you COL Mikel J. Burroughs for posting this reminder. Memorial Day is a very important day for all Americans, whether they realize it or not. Memorial Day is not really the first day of camping, or the start of the summer season and other ideas. Also, these things are included but should not be allowed to overshadow the true meaning and reason for Memorial Day (Originally known as Decoration Day Memorial Day is an American holiday, observed on the last Monday of May, honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. ... Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971.

TSgt Joe C. So far I've got some of the American Legion Riders Post 178 helping out and about 12 volunteers and we raised almost $1,000 in donation, which buys 1,250 roses - not too bad. We'll get more and grow this every year until we have the 122,000 graves covered at Fort Logan National Cemetery.
